The association of triglyceride and glucose index, and triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio with prehypertension and hypertension in normoglycemic persons: A large cross-sectional population study
The Journal of Clinical Hypertension Jun 17, 2021
Zhang F, Zhang Y, Guo Z, et al. - Via this large cross-sectional analysis, researchers investigated if and how triglyceride and glucose index (TyG index) and triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-c) were associated with prehypertension and hypertension in the same normoglycemic persons from Tianjin, China. Overall 32,124 eligible adults took part in this study. Based on blood pressure level, participants were split into three categories, which were normotension, prehypertension, and hypertension. Findings revealed association of increased TyG index and TG/HDL-c levels with prehypertension and hypertension in normoglycemic participants. For differentiating hypertension, TyG index was shown to be more significant compared with TG/HDL-c. These possess the potential to serve as cost-effective monitors in the hierarchical management of prehypertension and hypertension.
