Combined association of triglyceride-glucose index and systolic blood pressure with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among the general population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The combined association of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and different systolic blood pressure (SBP) levels with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among the general population remains unclear.

Methods

In this study, 6245 individuals were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1999-2002). The study endpoints were all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to explore the combined association of TyG index and different SBP levels with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

Results

During a mean follow-up period of 66.8 months, a total of 284 all-cause deaths (331/100000 person-years) and 61 cardiovascular deaths (66/100000 person-years) were recorded. Multivariate Cox
