Association between triglyceride-glucose index and its composite obesity indexes and cardio-renal disease: analysis of the NHANES 2013-2018 cycle by Yu Wu, Chengsen Liu, Jiandong Cao

“…Based on ROC curves, TyG-WHtR and TyG-WC emerged as more reliable diagnostic tools than TYG for cardiac and renal diseases. According to subgroup analyses, TyG and its composite obesity measurements were more strongly associated with CKD in younger individuals (≤ 50), males, and those with diabetes mellitus (P for interaction 0.05).ConclusionsThe TyG-WHtR and TyG-WC are associated with an increased risk of cardiac and renal disease, indicating enhanced diagnostic accuracy. …”
