Association between triglyceride-glucose index and risk of cardiovascular disease among postmenopausal women.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aimed to examine the association of triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) with risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) among postmenopausal women.

Methods

A total of 7741 participants met the inclusion criteria, and were included in the analysis. The TyG index was calculated as ln (triglyceride [mg/dL] × fasting blood glucose [mg/dL]/2). The participants were classified into four groups by the quartiles of TyG index, and the Q1 group was used as the reference group. The cumulative incidence of CVD for the groups were compared using the Kaplan-Meier curves. The association between the TyG index and risk of CVD among postmenopausal women was assessed by the Cox proportional hazards models (hazard ratio [HR], 95% confidence intervals [CI]).
