Association of the triglyceride–glucose index with all-cause and cause-specific mortality: a population-based cohort study of 3.5 million adults in China
Background
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been recognized as a crucial risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, the association between the TyG index and mortality in the general population remains elusive.
Methods
Participants were enrolled from the China Health Evaluation And risk Reduction through nationwide Teamwork (ChinaHEART), a nationwide prospective cohort study. The outcomes of interest were all-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality. Restricted cubic splines and Cox regression models were used to assess the associations between the TyG index and outcomes.
Findings
In total, 3,524,459 participants with a median follow-up of 4.6 (IQR, 3.1–5.8) years were included. The associations of the TyG index with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality were reverse L-shaped, with cut-off values of 9.75 for all-cause mortality and 9.85 for cardiovascular mortality. For each 1-unit increase in the TyG index, when below the cut-off values, the TyG index was not significantly associated with all-cause mortality (HR = 1.02, 95% CI: 1.00–1.03) and was only modestly associated with cardiovascular mortality (HR = 1.09, 95% CI: 1.06–1.11). Conversely, when the cut-off values were exceeded, the HRs (95% CI) were 2.10 (1.94–2.29) for all-cause mortality and 1.99 (1.72–2.30) for cardiovascular mortality. However, the association between the TyG index and cancer mortality was linearly negative (HR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.94–0.99).
Interpretation
The associations of the TyG index with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality displayed reverse L-shaped patterns, while an elevated TyG index showed a slight negative association with cancer mortality. We suggest that <9.75 could be the optimal TyG index cut-off value among the Chinese general population. Individuals at high risk of mortality might benefit from proper management of a high TyG index.
