Association between hypertriglyceridemic-waist phenotype and cardiovascular disease: A cohort study and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between hypertriglyceridemic-waist (HTGW) phenotype and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains inconsistent and debatable. We aimed to prospectively investigate the relationship between HTGW phenotype and CVD.

Methods and results

We included 8,216 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Participants were categorized into four subgroups: NTNW: normal triglyceride levels and normal waist circumference; HTNW: high triglyceride levels and normal waist circumference; NTGW: normal triglyceride levels with enlarged waist circumference; HTGW: high triglyceride levels and enlarged waist circumference. A Cox proportional hazards model was applied to determine the association between HTGW phenotype and CVD. A meta-analysis was cond
