A Non-Linear Association of Triglyceride Glycemic Index With Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality Among Patients With Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the association between insulin resistance (IR), quantified by triglyceride glycemic index (TyG index), cardiovascular mortality (CVM), and all-cause mortality (ACM) in hypertension patients.

Methods

We included 8,554 patients with hypertension aged ≥18 years old from the 1999-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). The status of CVM and ACM of participants were followed through December 31, 2015. Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to evaluate the relationship between TyG index, CVM, and ACM.

Results

During a median of 82 months follow-up, 1,882 mortality cases had occurred, 434 of which were due to cardiovascular disease. The patients with hypertension with TyG ≥ 10 were older,
