Triglyceride-Glucose Index Associated with Future Renal Function Decline in the General Population. J Gen Intern Med 2024:10.1007/s11606-024-08809-4. [PMID: 38782808 DOI: 10.1007/s11606-024-08809-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), calculated as the logarithmic product of fasting triglyceride and glucose concentrations, is recognized as a simple marker of insulin resistance. However, the association between the TyG index and future decline of renal function remains unclear in the general population. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether the TyG index was associated with future decline of renal function in the general population who had not progressed to chronic kidney disease stage G2. DESIGN Retrospective longitudinal observational cohort study. PARTICIPANTS Individuals who received a population-based health checkup at JA Ehime Kouseiren Checkup Center from 2010 to 2019 (n = 134,007). Individuals without data of baseline fasting triglyceride or glucose levels, or baseline and follow-up data of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), or those with baseline eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 were excluded. MAIN MEASURES Future renal function decline, defined as a ≥ 25% decrease in eGFR from baseline. KEY RESULTS Of 10,758 participants, 8,076 were classified into the low TyG index group (TyG index < 8.76, 1st to 3rd quartiles) and 2,682 into the high TyG index group (TyG index ≥ 8.76, 4th quartile). The mean follow-up period was 37.8 ± 23.6 months. The incidence rates of renal function decline were 0.31 and 0.69 per 100 person-years in the low and high TyG index groups, respectively. In multivariate Cox proportional hazard models, high TyG index was significantly associated with future renal function decline (hazard ratio 2.25, 95% CI 1.40-3.60). This association was consistent across subgroups stratified by age, sex, body mass index, baseline eGFR, and diagnosed hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia. CONCLUSION In the general population, high TyG index was associated with future renal function decline. The TyG index may be useful in identifying individuals at high risk for future renal function decline in the setting of health checkups.

The triglyceride glucose index as a sensitive predictor for the risk of MACCEs in patients with diabetic foot ulcers: An ambispective longitudinal cohort study. Int Wound J 2024; 21:e14874. [PMID: 38606690 PMCID: PMC11009942 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 03/18/2024] [Accepted: 03/23/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024] Open
Abstract
The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been confirmed a predictive value for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, no research has yet confirmed whether there is a linear correlation between the TyG index and MACCEs in DFUs. The present study aimed to delve into the association between the TyG index and the risk of MACCEs in patients with DFUs. A total of 960 inpatients with DFUs were recruited. All participants were followed up every 6 months for 11 years with a median of 83 months. According to the cut-off value of the TyG index acquired from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the subjects were divided into two groups: low-level (<9.12, n = 480) and high-level (≥9.12, n = 480). The relationship between the TyG index and MACCEs was evaluated by the multivariable Cox regression model, restricted cubic spline (RCS) model, stratified analysis and the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Out of 960 participants, 271 experienced MACCEs (28.22%), of whom 79 (29.15%) died. ROC analysis got the optimal TyG index cut-off value of 9.12. Multivariable Cox regression analysis combined with the RCS model showed that the TyG index was positively associated with MACCEs in an S-shaped non-linear dose-dependent manner within the range of TyG index 7.5-9.5 (p < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated the higher the TyG index, the greater the cumulative incidence of MACCEs (log-rank, p < 0.001). The study first confirmed an S-shaped non-linear dose-dependent positive relationship between the TyG index and the risk of MACCEs in DFUs. Consequently, lowering the TyG index level aids in improving the prognosis of patients with DFUs.

Abstract
Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has emerged as a significant global public health challenge, and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is widely used due to its convenience, low cost, and broad clinical applicability. Concurrently, insulin resistance (IR) serves as a crucial marker of metabolic disturbance, and alternative indicators have garnered increasing attention in CKD research in recent years. Objective: This study aims to investigate the relationship between IR-related indices (TyG index, TyG-BMI index, and TyG-WC index) and serum creatinine levels, as well as the eGFR, with the intention of uncovering their potential roles in the assessment of renal function. Methods: We analyzed nationally representative cross-sectional data from a cohort of individuals aged 45 and above in China, comprising 11,608 participants. Participants were categorized into different groups based on quartiles of the TyG index, and multiple factors, including gender, age, lifestyle, and co-morbidities, were adjusted for using linear regression models. Results: By linear regression, TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC indices were significantly positively correlated with serum creatinine and significantly negatively correlated with eGFR. Results showed similar trends when TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC indices were used as categorical variables. In the fully adjusted model, the highest quartile of serum creatinine was higher than the first quartile for TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC indices, with β values of 2.673, 3.67, and 1.937 mg/dL, respectively; the highest quartile of eGFR was lower than the first quartile, with β values of -2.4, -2.955, and -1.823 mL/min/1.73 m2. P values were statistically significant. Conclusions: This study indicates a consistent correlation between the TyG index and its related indices with serum creatinine levels and eGFR among the middle aged and elderly population in China. These findings suggest the potential utility of these indices in early screening and management of the risk of chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is closely related to many metabolic diseases and has become a serious public health problem worldwide. So, it is crucial to find its environmental pathogenic factors. Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), a widely used unleaded gasoline additive, has been proven to affect glycolipid metabolism. However, results from population studies are lacking. For this purpose, the potential relationships between MTBE exposure and the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a useful surrogate marker of insulin resistance, were evaluated using a small-scale occupational population. In this study, 201 participants including occupational and non-occupational MTBE exposure workers were recruited from the Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Hospital of Huaibei, and their health examination information and blood samples with informed consent were collected. The internal exposure levels were assessed by detecting blood MTBE using solid-phase-micro-extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Then the adjusted linear regression model was used to assess the relationship between MTBE exposure and fasting plasma glucose (FPG), or TyG index. Then, receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curves were performed to calculate the optimal cut-off points. Multivariable and hierarchical logistic regression models were used to analyze the impact of MTBE exposure on the risk of insulin resistance. Obvious correlations were observed between blood MTBE levels with TyG index (p = 0.016) and FPG (p = 0.001). Further analysis showed that using the mean of the TyG index (8.77) as a cutoff value had a good effect on reflecting the risk of insulin resistance. Multivariable logistic regression analysis also indicated that MTBE exposure was an independent risk factor for a high TyG index (OR = 1.088, p = 0.038), which indicated that MTBE exposure might be a new environmental pathogenic factor leading to insulin resistance, and MTBE exposure might increase the risk of insulin resistance by independently elevating the TyG index in male gas station workers.

Abstract
Background The impact of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index variations on chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression remains unexplored. To investigate the effects of the TyG index and its dynamic changes on CKD progression. Method This prospective cohort study included data from 8,418 hypertensive participants. The exposure variable in this study was defined as the difference between the TyG index at the last visit from that at baseline. The study's outcome variable was the progression of CKD, defined as follows: for subjects with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min, a ≥30% decrease in eGFR with a final follow-up value <60 mL/min; for those with an eGFR <60 mL/min, a ≥50% decrease in eGFR; or terminal renal failure requiring dialysis. Results During a median follow-up period of 48 months, 1077 patients were diagnosed with CKD progression. In the fully adjusted Model 3, patients with a change in the TyG index <0 exhibited a significantly decreased 13% risk of CKD progression (HR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.76-0.98) compared to those with a change in the TyG index≥0 group. Subgroup analyses showed that changes in the TyG index significantly increased the risk of CKD progression only in patients with diastolic blood pressure (DBP) <90mmHg. In the path analysis, baseline TyG was associated with follow-up eGFR (the standard regression coefficient was 1.26 [95% CI, 0.45-2.06]). Conclusions Our findings suggest that TyG variability may serve as a useful tool for identifying individuals at risk of CKD progression, particularly hypertensive patients with normal DBP levels.

Abstract
Previous research suggests that mathematical models could serve as valuable tools for diagnosing or predicting diseases like diabetic kidney disease, which often necessitate invasive examinations for conclusive diagnosis. In the big-data era, there are several mathematical modeling methods, but generally, two types are recognized: conventional mathematical model and machine learning model. Each modeling method has its advantages and disadvantages, but a thorough comparison of the two models is lacking. In this article, we describe and briefly compare the conventional mathematical model and machine learning model, and provide research prospects in this field.

Triglyceride-glucose index is strongly associated with all-cause mortality in elderly females with diabetic foot ulcers: A 9-year follow-up study. Int Wound J 2024; 21:e14344. [PMID: 37555254 PMCID: PMC10777761 DOI: 10.1111/iwj.14344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2023] [Revised: 07/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/25/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aims to explore the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and all-cause mortality in patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) through an ambispective cohort study. A total of 555 inpatients with DFUs were qualified to participate in the trial study from 2013 to 2022. Throughout a median 63-month period, all subjects were followed up every 6 months. According to the three quantiles of the TyG index, participants were divided into three groups: low-level (≤8.75, n = 185), moderate-level (8.76-9.33, n = 185) and high-level (≥9.34, n = 185). The association between the TyG index and all-cause mortality in patients with DFUs was then assessed. During the follow-up period, out of 555 patients with DFUs, 116 died (20.9%). After adjusting for confounding factors, the TyG index was positively associated with all-cause mortality in patients with DFUs (HR = 1.733; 95% CI = 1.341-2.241; p < 0.001). Compared with the low-level TyG index, the moderate-level TyG index (HR = 1.685; 95% CI = 1.011-2.810; p = 0.045) and the high-level TyG index (HR = 2.769; 95% CI = 1.678-4.568; p < 0.001) were positively correlated with all-cause mortality in patients with DFUs. Additionally, in subgroup analysis, both females (HR = 1.905; 95% CI = 1.250-2.904; p = 0.003), males (HR = 1.729; 95% CI = 1.240-2.409; p = 0.001), younger (<65 years old) (HR = 1.467; 95% CI = 1.008-2.135; p = 0.046) and elderly (≥ 65) (HR = 1.933; 95% CI = 1.339-2.791; p < 0.001) showed a positive correlation between TyG index and all-cause mortality rate in patients with DFUs. Furthermore, in the high-level TyG index group compared, males (HR = 2.699; 95% CI = 1.457-4.998) and participants aged <65 years (HR = 2.031; 95% CI = 0.972-4.242), with the TyG index level increase by 1.0, the risk for all-cause mortality increased 3.277-fold in females (HR = 4.277; 95% CI = 1.645-11.124) and 1.909-fold in elderly aged ≥65 years (HR = 2.909; 95% CI = 1.486-5.695), respectively. Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the higher the TyG index level, the higher risk of all-cause mortality in patients with DFUs (log-rank, all p < 0.001). Briefly, this study implies a strong positive correlation between the TyG index and all-cause mortality in patients with DFUs, especially in older women. Therefore, special attention should be paid to elderly females with DFUs because they have a higher TyG index level and risk of all-cause mortality than other populations in daily clinical practice.

BACKGROUND Research has shown that insulin resistance (IR) is a known risk factor for diabetic foot (DF), and the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable and simple indicator of IR. However, less is known about the relationship between the TyG and the risk of DF. Here, we investigated the association between the TyG index and the prevalence of DF. METHODS The eligible records from the Departments of Endocrinology of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University were screened (from December 1, 2012, to December 31, 2021), and a total of 8866 patients were enrolled. The TyG index was calculated as ln[(fasting triglycerides (mg/dL)×fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2)]. The continuous variables between the DF and the non-DF groups were compared by Student's t test or the Mann-Whitney U test, and categorical variables were compared by the chi-square test. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was carried out to estimate the predictive value of the TyG index for DF. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations between the quartiles of the TyG index and the risk of DF. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted. RESULTS The TyG index was significantly lower in the DF group than in the no-DF group. The logistic regression revealed that an increased TyG index was associated with a lower risk of DF after adjusting for potential confounders. In addition, an ROC analysis indicated the discriminatory ability of the TyG index in DF presence with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.661 (95% CI 0.642-0.680, P < 0.001). Subgroup and sensitivity analysis also supported these robust results. CONCLUSIONS The TyG index was inversely and dose-dependently associated with the risk of DF in diabetes patients, indicating that elevated TyG index was a protective factor for DF. Future studies are therefore warranted to confirm our finding and to explore the detailed pathological mechanism involved in this process.

The Triglyceride-Glucose Index Might Be a Better Indicator for Predicting Poor Cardiovascular Outcomes in Chronic Coronary Syndrome. J Clin Med 2023; 12:6201. [PMID: 37834844 PMCID: PMC10573341 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12196201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2023] [Revised: 09/13/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the potential association between the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP)-both considered surrogate markers for atherosclerosis-and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients diagnosed with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). We conducted a retrospective analysis, encompassing 715 consecutive patients with intermediate CCS risk, who presented at the outpatient clinic between June 2020 and August 2022. MACEs included non-fatal myocardial infarction, hospitalization for heart failure, cerebrovascular events, non-cardiac mortality, and cardiac mortality. The primary outcome was the composite occurrence of MACEs during the follow-up period. For time-to-event analysis of the primary outcome, we employed Kaplan-Meier plots and Cox proportional hazard models. The median age of the overall study population was 55 years, with a median follow-up duration of 17 months. Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified age, hypertension, Coronary Artery Disease-Reporting and Data System score, and TyG index as independent predictors of the primary outcome. Notably, individuals with high TyG levels exhibited a significantly higher primary outcome rate compared to those with low TyG levels (18.7% vs. 3.8%, p < 0.001). Similarly, patients with elevated TyG values demonstrated statistically higher rates of cerebrovascular events, hospitalizations for heart failure, non-fatal myocardial infarctions, non-cardiac mortality, and cardiac mortality. These findings suggest that TyG may serve as a predictive marker for adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with CCS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and cervical vascular function parameters in the general population without cerebrovascular disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a cross-sectional study that recruited a total of 1996 participants without cerebrovascular disease. TyG index was calculated based on fasting triglycerides and glucose. All patients were divided into two groups based on the median TyG index: the high TyG group and the low TyG group. The differences in basic clinical characteristics and neck vascular function parameters between the two groups of participants were compared, and then the correlation between TyG index and neck vascular function parameters was investigated. RESULTS Participants with a high TyG index had lower systolic, diastolic, and mean flow velocities in the basilar, vertebral, and internal carotid arteries compared with those with a low TyG index. Participants with a high TyG index had higher pulsatility index in the left vertebral artery and right internal carotid artery, but this difference was not observed in the basilar artery. In addition, TyG index was significantly negatively correlated with systolic, diastolic, and mean flow velocities in the basilar, vertebral, and internal carotid arteries, and the correlation remained after adjusting for confounding factors. CONCLUSION In the general population, there was a well-defined correlation between TyG index and cervical vascular function parameters, and increased TyG index was independently associated with reduced cervical vascular blood flow velocity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A new uric acid (UA) index has recently been proposed, while serum uric acid (SUA), fasting triglyceride, and fasting blood glucose levels in the index are shown to affect cognitive function. This study aims to investigate the clinical value of the UA index for assessing mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. METHODS This was an observational cross-sectional study with 616 participants. A generalized additive model was used to determine a linear or curvilinear relationship between cognitive performance and the UA index. Logistic regression and random forest models were both developed. A receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was delineated and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. RESULTS MCI was diagnosed in 313 participants (50.81%). Compared with the T2D-normal cognitive function group, MCI subjects had higher UA indexes, lower cognitive scores, and lower education levels (p < 0.001). Generalized additive models showed the UA index and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score to be decreased linearly (p < 0.001). The UA index AUC was 0.751 (95% CI = 0.713-0.789, p < 0.001). The optimal cut-off point for the identification of MCI based on the UA index was 11.26 (sensitivity: 62.3%, specificity: 75.9%). Results for females in the cohort yielded an AUC change of + 2.5%, the less-educated population (AUC change of + 4.7%), and the hypertensive population (AUC change of + 1.1%). The AUCs were 0.791 (95% CI = 0.720-0.863) for the random forest model and 0.804 (95% CI = 0.770-0.837) for the logistic regression model, and no statistical significance was found (p = 0.758). CONCLUSION This study showed that the increased UA index was independently associated with MCI in patients with T2D, especially among female, less-educated, and hypertensive patients. It could be a potential indicator of MCI in T2D patients.

Int J Gen Med 2023; 16:2857-2866. [PMID: 37426516 PMCID: PMC10329442 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s416230] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 07/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Insulin resistance (IR) and hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) are significant risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). As an important marker for IR, Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) index maybe a significant predictor for HHcy progression, reflecting cardiovascular risk. However, the relationship between TyG index and HHcy has been unknown, especially for the high-risk occupation group of male bus drivers. This longitudinal study was initially conducted to explore the outcome of TyG index in predicting HHcy among male bus drivers. Methods In total, 1018 Chinese male bus drivers with Hcy data and regular follow-up from 2017 to 2021 were screened, and 523 non-HHcy subjects at baseline were included in the longitudinal cohort. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) was performed to investigate the possible non-linear relationship between TyG index and the progression of HHcy. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to explore the association between TyG index and developing HHcy via assessing the value of odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI). Results After the median follow up time of 2.12 years, approximately 27.7% of male bus drivers (mean age: 48.1 years) was identified as new incidents HHcy. Multivariate logistic regression found that the higher level of TyG was associated with an increased risk of new onset HHcy (OR = 1.47; 95% CI: 1.11-1.94); and the association seemed to be strong among male bus drivers with elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P for interaction < 0.05). Conclusion As a higher risk occupation group for HHcy, male bus drivers should cause much more attentions from policy makers, employers, and health professionals in China. Identifying male bus drivers with HHcy is of significance at an earlier stage in the primary care setting. Being a significant predictive factor for HHcy, TyG index could be used to monitor and prevent Chinese male bus drivers from HHcy, especially for individuals with elevated LDL-C.

Non-insulin-based insulin resistance indices for predicting all-cause mortality and renal outcomes in patients with stage 1-4 chronic kidney disease: another paradox. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1136284.

Abstract
Non-insulin-based insulin resistance (IR) indices serve as the indicators of metabolic syndrome (MetS) but have limited value for predicting clinical outcomes. Whether the obesity paradox affects the predictive value of these indicators in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unknown. We investigated whether MetS and non-insulin-based IR indices can predict all-cause mortality and renal outcomes in a prospective observational study with stage 1-4 CKD Asians (N = 2,457). These IR indices were associated with MetS. A Cox regression model including body mass index (BMI) revealed an association between MetS and renal outcomes. Among the IR indices, only high triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index was associated with adverse renal outcomes: the hazard ratio of Q4 quartile of the TyG index was 1.38 (1.12-1.70). All-cause mortality was marginally associated with MetS but not high IR indices. Low TyG and TyG-BMI indices as well as low BMI and triglyceride were paradoxically associated with increased risks of clinical outcomes. The triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and metabolic score for IR indices were not associated with clinical outcomes. In conclusion, MetS and TyG index predict renal outcome and obesity paradox affects the prediction of IR indices in patients with stage 1-4 CKD.

Correlation between the triglyceride-glucose index and the onset of atrial fibrillation in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:94. [PMID: 37158953 PMCID: PMC10169476 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01012-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2023] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). Insulin resistance (IR) is the main cause of the high prevalence of AF in NAFLD patients. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) is a novel IR-related indicator implicated in the incidence and severity of NAFLD. However, the role of TyG in determining the risk for AF in patients with NAFLD remains unclear. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 912 patients diagnosed with NAFLD via ultrasonography. These patients were divided into two groups: (1) NAFLD+ AF and (2) NAFLD+ non-AF. Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression was used to assess the correlation between the TyG index and the high risk for AF. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the predictive value for the TyG index for AF. Restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to test the linear correlation between TyG and the risk for AF. RESULTS A total of 204 patients with AF and 708 patients without AF were included in this study. The LASSO logistic regression analysis showed that TyG was an independent risk factor for AF (odds ratio [OR] = 4.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.98-7.88, P < 0.001). The RCS showed that the risk for AF increased linearly with TyG over the entire TyG range; this risk was also evident when the patients were analyzed based on sex (P for nonlinear > 0.05). In addition, the correlation between TyG and AF was a consistent finding in subgroup analysis. Furthermore, ROC curve analysis showed that TyG levels combined with traditional risk factors improved the predictive value for atrial fibrillation. CONCLUSION The TyG index is useful in assessing the risk for atrial fibrillation in patients with NAFLD. Patients with NAFLD and increased TyG indices have higher risks for atrial fibrillation. Therefore, TyG indices should be assessed when managing patients with NAFLD.

Triglyceride-glucose index is associated with the risk of chronic kidney disease progression in type 2 diabetes. Endocrine 2023:10.1007/s12020-023-03357-z. [PMID: 37004636 DOI: 10.1007/s12020-023-03357-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aimed to investigate the association of TyG index with chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A total of 179 T2DM patients with CKD were retrospectively included. CKD progression was defined as a doubling of baseline serum creatinine or onset of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Internal validation was performed by the Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) model and Net reclassification improvement (NRI). RESULTS The optimal cut-off value of the TyG index was 9.17. The cumulative incidence of kidney outcomes was significantly higher in the high-TyG group (v.s low-TyG group, P = 0.019). In addition, the high-TyG index was associated with a greater risk of CKD progression (HR 1.794, 95% CI 1.026-3.137, P = 0.040). And reclassification analyses confirmed the final adjusted model improved NRI (61.90% v.s model 2, 43.80% v.s model 1). The further RCS curves presented an inverted S-shaped relationship between the TyG index and the risk of CKD progression. Internal validation verified that a higher TyG index was associated with 2.10-fold increased odds of 2-year ESKD risk >10% (95% CI 1.82-8.21). Moreover, subgroup analysis suggested that the association was more pronounced in those at relatively early CKD stages (higher than stage 2) and with no medication history of oral hypoglycemic agents. CONCLUSION An elevated TyG index was associated with a higher risk of CKD progression in T2DM patients. Our findings suggested that timely targeting insulin sensitivity at the early stages of T2DM might be associated with declined future risk of CKD development.

Comparison of the prognostic value of a comprehensive set of predictors in identifying risk of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease among employed adults. BMC Public Health 2023; 23:584. [PMID: 36991357 PMCID: PMC10053528 DOI: 10.1186/s12889-023-15365-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 03/03/2023] [Indexed: 03/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is of concern in employed adults, while the crucial indicators in predicting MAFLD are understudied in this population. We aimed to investigate and compare the prediction performance of a set of indicators for MAFLD in employed adults. Methods A cross-sectional study recruiting 7968 employed adults was conducted in southwest China. MAFLD was assessed by abdominal ultrasonography and physical examination. Comprehensive indicators of demographics, anthropometric, lifestyle, psychological, and biochemical indicators were collected by questionnaire or physical examination. All indicators were evaluated for importance in predicting MAFLD by random forest. A prognostic model based on multivariate regression model was constructed to obtain a prognostic index. All indicators and prognostic index were compared to evaluate their prediction performance in predicting MAFLD by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration plot, and Decision curve analysis (DCA). Results Triglyceride Glucose-Body Mass Index (TyG-BMI), BMI, TyG, triglyceride (TG)/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and TG ranked the top five important indicators, and TyG-BMI performed the most accurate prediction of MAFLD according to the ROC curve, calibration plot and DCA. The area under the ROC curves (AUCs) of the five indicators were all over 0.7, with TyG-BMI (cut-off value: 218.284, sensitivity: 81.7%, specificity: 78.3%) suggesting the most sensitive and specific indicator. All five indicators showed higher prediction performance and net benefit than the prognostic model. Conclusion This epidemiological study firstly compared a set of indicators to evaluate their prediction performance in predicting MAFLD risk among employed adults. Intervention targeting powerful predictors can be helpful to reduce the MAFLD risk among employed adults.

Abstract
PURPOSE This population-based cross-sectional study aimed to determine whether the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) is associated with sarcopenic obesity (SO) and whether it would be a helpful indicator of SO. METHODS A total of 3821 participants aged ≥ 60 years were selected for the study group, and 4919 participants aged 20-39 years were included as a reference group. The participants were allocated to sarcopenia, obesity, and SO groups depending on if their body mass index (BMI) was ≥25 kg/m2 and their sarcopenia index was ≤1 standard deviation (SD) lower than the mean of the reference group. The sex-specific differences and trends among the participants were analyzed by using the TyG index tertiles, and appropriate cut-off values of the TyG index for SO were calculated. RESULTS As the TyG index increased, BMI increased, but the sarcopenia index decreased in both sexes. Males and females in the middle and highest tertiles of the TyG index were 1.775 and 3.369, and they were 1.993 and 3.157 times more likely to have SO, respectively. The cut-off values of the TyG index for SO in males and females were ≥8.72 and 8.67, respectively. CONCLUSION A high TyG index is positively associated with SO, and the TyG index may be considered a potential indicator of SO.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), has become the most common chronic liver disease worldwide. We aimed to explore the gender-related association between nine indexes (BMI/WC/VAI/LAP/WHtR/TyG/TyG-BMI/TyG-WC/TyG-WHtR) and MAFLD/NAFLD and examine their diagnostic utility for these conditions. METHODS Eligible participants were screened from the 2017-2018 cycle data of National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to assess the predictive performance of 9 indexes for MAFLD/NAFLD. RESULTS Among the 809 eligible individuals, 478 had MAFLD and 499 had NAFLD. After adjusting for gender, age, ethnicity, FIPR and education level, positive associations with the risk of MAFLD/NAFLD were found for all the nine indexes. For female, TyG-WHtR presented the best performance in identifying MAFLD/NAFLD, with AUC of 0.845 (95% CI = 0.806-0.879) and 0.831 (95% CI = 0.791-0.867) respectively. For male, TyG-WC presented the best performance in identifying MAFLD/NAFLD, with AUC of 0.900 (95% CI = 0.867-0.927) and 0.855 (95% CI = 0.817-0.888) respectively. CONCLUSION BMI/WC/VAI/LAP/WHtR/TyG/TyG-BMI/TyG-WC/TyG-WHtR are important indexes to identify the risk of MAFLD and NAFLD.

Association between the triglyceride–glucose index and chronic kidney disease in adults. Int Urol Nephrol 2022; 55:1279-1289. [PMID: 36472799 DOI: 10.1007/s11255-022-03433-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2022] [Accepted: 11/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized as a progressive dysfunction of the kidney, and it might have a close relationship with insulin resistance. We utilized the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a reliable marker of insulin resistance, to evaluate the association between the TyG index and CKD in adults from the general population. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study obtaining data from the 2015-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) served as kidney function indicators. We defined CKD as the existence of either low eGFR (eGFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 BSA) or albuminuria (UACR > 30 mg/g). Multivariate regressions, correlated subgroup analyses, and interaction terms were performed in this study. RESULTS For 4361 recruited participants, the mean TyG index was 8.60 ± 0.68, and the prevalence of CKD was 13.35%. Participants with a higher TyG index showed a higher UACR level (β = 25.10, 95% CI: 6.76, 43.44, P = 0.0074) and higher levels of CKD (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.13, 1.59, P = 0.0006). The positive relationship between the TyG index and CKD became stronger and remained significant in the overweight (OR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.18, 2.20, P = 0.0027) and obese (OR = 2.48, 95% CI: 1.95, 3.15, P < 0.0001) groups and in people with diabetes (OR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.46, 2.56, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Higher TyG index was strongly associated with a higher UACR level and higher values of albuminuria and CKD, which might be useful in kidney function screening especially among people in disadvantageous socioeconomic conditions with no availability for direct measurement of kidney function. However, more well-designed studies are still needed to validate this relationship.

Abstract
Background Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple marker of insulin resistance. However, insufficient data is available on whether the TyG index is associated with worsening renal function (WRF) in the elderly. Therefore, this study was designed to explore the association between the TyG index and WRF based on a community elderly cohort. Methods In this study, 7,822 elderly (aged ≥ 65 years) adults from southern China were enrolled and divided into four groups according to the TyG index quartiles. The primary endpoint was incident chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as incident estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Additional endpoints included a decline in eGFR of 30% and 40% during the follow-up period. Results During the median 2.04 year follow-up period, 1,541 (19.7%) participants developed CKD. After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariable Cox regression models revealed significant associations between TyG index and incident CKD (HR per SD increase, 1.21; 95% CI: 1.14-1.29), a decline in eGFR of 30% (HR per SD increase, 1.38; 95% CI: 1.26-1.50), and decline in eGFR of 40% (HR per SD increase, 1.42; 95% CI: 1.24-1.63). Furthermore, compared with those in Q1, participants in Q4 demonstrated a higher risk of developing CKD (HR, 1.59; 95% CI: 1.35-1.88). These positive associations remained consistent across different subgroup populations. Conclusion Our study suggests a positive and independent association between the TyG index and WRF in the elderly.

J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11216419. [PMID: 36362646 PMCID: PMC9655420 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11216419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 10/22/2022] [Accepted: 10/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: High triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a surrogate marker of insulin resistance, is associated with an increased risk of albuminuria in adults. However, the relationship between high TyG index associated with renal hyperfiltration (RHF) and albuminuria among young adults is unclear. Methods: A total of 5420 participants aged 19−39 years were enrolled from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011−2014 and 2019) and their TyG index levels were analyzed. RHF was defined as eGFR with residuals > 90th percentile after adjusting for age, sex, weight, and height. Albuminuria was defined as urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio ≥ 30 mg/g Cr. Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between TyG index, RHF, and albuminuria. Results: The mean age was 30.7 ± 6.0 years and 46.4% were male. The prevalence of albuminuria and RHF was higher in the higher tertiles of TyG index. In our multivariable model, high TyG index showed higher risk of albuminuria (odds ratio (OR) per 1.0 increase in TyG index, 1.56; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.24−1.95 and OR in the highest tertile, 1.65; 95% CI, 1.08−2.52). High TyG index was associated with higher risk of RHF (OR per 1.0 increase in TyG index, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.32−1.84 and OR in the highest tertile, 1.73; 95% CI, 1.31−2.30). When participants were divided into with or without RHF, high-TyG index-associated high risk of albuminuria was only observed in those with RHF. Participants with concurrent high TyG index and RHF showed the highest risk of albuminuria. Mediation analysis showed that 54.2% of the relation between TyG index and albuminuria was mediated by RHF (95% CI of indirect effect, 0.27−0.76). Finally, incorporating TyG index into our basic model improved the predictive value for albuminuria only in participants with RHF. Conclusion: High TyG index associated with RHF was the strongest risk factor for albuminuria in this study. Early identification of high TyG index with RHF may prevent future development of CKD in relatively healthy and young adults.

Abstract
Objective We aimed to explore the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a marker of insulin resistance (IR), and vascular target organ damage (TOD) in a Beijing community-based population, China. Methods A total of 6,015 participants from an atherosclerosis cohort survey performed in the Shijingshan District in Beijing, China were included in our analysis. Vascular TOD, such as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), and the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) were all evaluated. Results The overall mean age of all the participants was 62.35 years, 3,951 (65.69%) were female, and mean TyG index was 8.81. In univariable regression analyzes, an increased TyG index was associated with higher cfPWV, baPWV, lnUACR, and higher risk of cfPWV ≥ 10 m/s, baPWV ≥ 1,800 cm/s, and UACR ≥ 30 mg/g, respectively. Multivariable regression analyzes showed subjects with the TyG index in top tertile had a significant increase in cfPWV (β = 0.29 m/s; 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.19–0.40; pfortrend < 0.001), baPWV (β = 69.28 cm/s; 95% CI 50.97–87.59; pfortrend < 0.001), lnUACR (β = 0.23; 95% CI 0.13–0.34; pfortrend < 0.001), and had a higher risk of cfPWV ≥ 10 m/s (odds ratio [OR] = 1.47; 95% CI 1.17–1.85; pfortrend < 0.001), baPWV ≥ 1,800 cm/s (OR = 1.79; 95% CI 1.48–2.17; pfortrend < 0.001), and UACR ≥ 30 mg/g (OR = 1.71; 95% CI 1.30–2.24; pfortrend < 0.001) after fully adjusting for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), self-reported coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, antihypertensive drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, and lipid-lowering drugs. Consistent conclusions were obtained in the subgroups without hypoglycemic and lipid-lowering medications or aged younger than 65 years old. Conclusions The TyG index was positively associated with artery stiffness and nephric microvascular damage in a Beijing community-based population in China. This result provides evidence that the TyG index may serve as a simple and effective indicator to reflect vascular TOD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a surrogate marker of insulin resistance. Its role in chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is unclear. We investigated the association between TyG index and CKD progression, and possible mediation of the association by pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF). METHODS This was a prospective study on 1571 patients with T2DM. CKD progression was defined as worsening across KDIGO estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) categories with ≥25% reduction from baseline. PEDF was quantitated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the relationship between TyG index and CKD progression. RESULTS Over a follow-up period of up to 8.6 years (median 4.6 years, IQR 3.0-3.6), 42.7% of subjects had CKD progression. Every unit increase in TyG was associated with hazards of 1.44 (95%CI 1.29-1.61; p < 0.001) in unadjusted analysis and 1.21 (1.06-1.37; p = 0.004) in fully adjusted model. Compared to tertile 1, tertiles 2 and 3 TyG index were positively associated with CKD progression with corresponding hazard ratios HRs 1.24 (1.01-1.52; p = 0.037) and 1.37 (1.11-1.68; p = 0.003) in fully adjusted models. PEDF accounted for 36.0% of relationship between TyG index and CKD progression. CONCLUSIONS Higher TyG index independently predicted CKD progression in T2DM. PEDF mediated the association between TyG index and CKD progression.

Dong J, Yang H, Zhang Y, Chen L, Hu Q. A high triglyceride glucose index is associated with early renal impairment in the hypertensive patients. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:1038758. [PMID: 36589813 PMCID: PMC9794992 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.1038758] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Serum β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and serum cystatin C (CysC) are sensitive and reliable indicators of early renal impairment. Triglyceride glucose index (TyG) is an emerging vital indicator of insulin resistance and is associated with increased risk of hypertension. We aimed to analyze the relationship between TyG and early renal impairment in hypertensive patients. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 881 hypertensive patients treated in Qinghai Provincial People, s Hospital from March 2018 to March 2021, their clinical data and corresponding laboratory index values were recorded, and the TyG index was calculated. According to the TyG index, the patients were divided into a low TyG (L-TyG) group (TyG ≤ 8.50, n=306), medium TyG (M-TyG) group (8.51≤TyG ≤ 8.94, n=281), and high TyG (H-TyG) group (TyG>8.95, n=294) in sequence by using tertiles. Then, according to serum β2-MG and CysC levels, they were divided into a normal renal function group (β2-MG ≤ 2.4 mg/L, n=700 and CysC ≤ 1.25mg/L, n=721) and a renal function injury group (β2-MG>2.4 mg/L, n=181, and CysC>1.25 mg/L, n=160). Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of serum β2-microglobulin and cystatin C. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between the TyG index and early renal impairment in hypertensive patients. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to determine the value of the TyG index in predicting early renal impairment in patients with hypertension. RESULT As the TyG index level increased, serum β2-MG and CysC levels also gradually increased. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that TyG index was the influencing factor of serum β2-MG (B=0.060, P=0.007) and serum CysC (B=0.096, P<0.001). For every 1 standard deviation increase in the TyG index, the serum β2-MG and CysC increased by 0.06mg/L and 0.096mg/L, respectively. When compared to the normal group, the TyG level (8.91 ± 0.65 vs 8.64 ± 0.60, P<0.001) was higher in the renal impairment group with β2-MG>2.4 mg/L. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that for every 1 standard deviation increase in the TyG index, the risk of early renal impairment in hypertensive patients increased 1.53 times (OR=1.53, 95%CI 1.006-2.303).The ROC curves showed that the TyG index was not superior to TG in predicting early renal impairment in hypertensive patients. the AUC values were 0.623 and 0.617, respectively. Then, when CysC>1.25 mg/L was used as the renal damage group, the level of TyG was still higher than that in the normal group (8.94 ± 0.67 and 8.64 ± 0.60, P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that for every 1 standard deviation increase in the TyG index, the risk of early renal impairment in hypertensive patients increased 2.82 times (OR=2.82, 95%CI 1.863-4.262). The ROC curves showed that the TyG index was not superior to TG in predicting early renal impairment in hypertensive patients. the AUC values were 0.629 and 0.626, respectively. CONCLUSION TyG index is an influential factor in serum β2-MG and CysC levels. The elevated TyG index levels are closely associated with the occurrence and development of early renal impairment in hypertensive patients, but it should be used cautiously in the prediction of early renal impairment.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:817176. [PMID: 35273567 PMCID: PMC8901499 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.817176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2021] [Accepted: 01/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable and specific biomarker for insulin resistance and is associated with renal dysfunction. The present study sought to explore the relationship between TyG index and the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) in non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) patients implanted with drug-eluting stents (DESs). METHODS A total of 1108 participants were recruited to the study and assigned to two groups based on occurrence of CIN. TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Baseline characteristics and incidence of CIN were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between TyG index and CIN. RESULTS The results showed that 167 participants (15.1%) developed CIN. Subjects in the CIN group had a significantly higher TyG index compared with subjects in the non-CIN group (8.9 ± 0.7 vs. 9.3 ± 0.7, P<0.001). TyG index was significantly correlated with increased risk of CIN after adjusting for confounding factors irrespective of diabetes mellitus status and exhibited a J-shaped non-linear association. Subgroup analysis showed a significant gender difference in the relationship between TyG index and CIN. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that the risk assessment performance of TyG index was superior compared with other single metabolic indexes. Addition of TyG index to the baseline model increased the area under the curve from 0.713 (0.672-0.754) to 0.742 (0.702-0.782) and caused a reclassification improvement of 0.120 (0.092-0.149). CONCLUSION The findings from the present study show that a high TyG index is significantly and independently associated with incidence of CIN in NSTE-ACS patients firstly implanted with DESs. Routine preoperative assessment of TyG index can alleviate CIN and TyG index provides a potential target for intervention in prevention of CIN.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the association between triglyceride glucose index-waist circumference (TyG-WC) and the risk of first myocardial infarction (MI) in Chinese hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). METHODS This study was an observational cohort study. A total of 2224 Chinese hypertensive patients with OSA without a history of MI were included in this study. Hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were estimated using multivariable Cox proportion hazard models. A generalized additive model was used to identify nonlinear relationships. Additionally, we performed hierarchical analysis and test for interaction. RESULTS During a median follow-up of 7.15 years, 85 incidents of MI developed. Overall, there was a positive association between TyG-WC and the risk of first MI. In the multivariable-adjusted model, the risk of MI increased with quartiles of the TyG-WC, the HR in quartile 4 versus quartile 1 was 4.29. A generalized additive model and a smooth curve fitting showed that there existed a similar J-shaped association between TyG-WC and the risk of first MI, with an inflection point at about 785. CONCLUSION Elevated levels of the baseline TyG-WC are associated with an increased risk of first MI. This finding indicates that the TyG-WC might be useful to identify the high risk of first MI in Chinese hypertensive patients with OSA.
