Comparative study of triglyceride glucose index and coronary heart disease risk in middle aged and elderly Chinese and British populations.

ABSTRACT: Extensive research has validated the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index as a reliable biomarker for cardiovascular risk stratification in elderly populations. However, comparative analyses across diverse ethnic groups remain scarce, with existing literature predominantly focused on homogeneous cohorts. This cross-national study investigates the association between TyG index and coronary heart disease(CHD) incidence in Chinese and British populations, aiming to quantify regional differences in CHD prevalence, and elucidate the TyG index's predictive value for CHD pathogenesis across distinct demographic contexts. Sociodemographic, clinical, anthropometric, and laboratory data were retrospectively collected from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) and the English Longit
