Joint association of triglyceride-glucose index and obesity indicators with stroke risk: a nationwide prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been identified as an independent predictor of stroke risk. However, the comprehensive impact of combined indices, integrating TyG with obesity indicators such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), on stroke risk remains insufficiently explored. Furthermore, there is a paucity of research on combined indices involving TyG and other obesity indicators like the weight-adjusted waist index (WWI), body roundness index (BRI), and a body shape index (ABSI). This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the combined impact of TyG with various obesity indicators on stroke risk and to investigate their potential associations. This observational cohort study included 8,730 participants from the China Health and R
