Association between triglyceride-glucose index and its obesity indicators with hypertension in postmenopausal women: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study explored the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, combined with adiposity metrics, and hypertension prevalence in postmenopausal women.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from 4,302 postmenopausal women in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018. Multivariable adjusted logistic regression models and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were implemented to assess the dose-response relationship. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were employed to compare the diagnostic performance of the TyG index, TyG-body mass (TyG-BMI), TyG-waist circumference (TyG-WC), and TyG-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR).

Results

Multivariable-adjusted analyses demonstrated that the Ty
