Abstract
Background: The triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index has been found to be significantly associated with a higher risk of mortality. However, there has been a lack of studies exploring the specific relationship between the TyG index and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among middle-aged and elderly with hypertension.
Methods: A total of 3,614 participants with hypertension were enrolled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The TyG index was calculated using the formula log [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) x fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. The Cox proportional hazard ratios were used to evaluate the association between the TyG index and the risk of mortality.
Results: Over a follow-up period of 7.87 years, 991 all-cause death and 189 cardiovascular deaths occurred. Compared with the reference quartile, the multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals were 1.28 (1.07-1.53; p = .006) in the fourth quartile for all-cause mortality and 0.63 (0.42-0.96; p = .031) in the second quartile for cardiovascular mortality. Dose-response analysis indicated an L-shaped relationship.
Conclusions: The TyG index exhibited an L-shaped association with the risk of all-cause mortality among middle-aged and elderly with hypertension.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is a reputable journal that has converted to a full Open Access format starting from Volume 45 in 2023. While previous volumes are still accessible through a Pay to Read model, the journal now provides free and open access to its content. It serves as an international platform for the exchange of up-to-date scientific and clinical information concerning both human and animal hypertension. The journal publishes a wide range of articles, including full research papers, solicited and unsolicited reviews, and commentaries. Through these publications, the journal aims to enhance current understanding and support the timely detection, management, control, and prevention of hypertension-related conditions.
One notable aspect of Clinical and Experimental Hypertension is its coverage of special issues that focus on the proceedings of symposia dedicated to hypertension research. This feature allows researchers and clinicians to delve deeper into the latest advancements in this field.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in several renowned databases, including Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes News (Online), Reactions Weekly (Online), CABI, EBSCOhost, Elsevier BV, International Atomic Energy Agency, and the National Library of Medicine, among others. These affiliations ensure that the journal's content receives broad visibility and facilitates its discoverability by professionals and researchers in related disciplines.
