The triglyceride glucose-body mass index is positively associated with higher risk of hypertension in rural southwest Chinese population: a cross sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Insulin resistance (IR) has been shown to be associated with hypertension. The triglyceride-glucose body mass index (TyG-BMI) has emerged as a novel surrogate marker for assessing IR. This study aimed to investigate the association between the TyG-BMI index and hypertension among adults in rural southwest China using a cross-sectional study.

Method

We recruited 2,998 people between the ages of 30 and 79 from Rongchang, Chongqing municipality, southwest China, as part of The China Multi-Ethnic Cohort Study, considered the largest cohort study in southwest China. Logistic regression model, restricted cubic spline (RCS) model and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) were applied to estimate the association between the TyG-BMI index and hypertension. Moreover, subg
