Correlation between triglyceride-glucose index and hypertension
Objective:To investigate the correlation between the triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index and hypertension.Methods:A total of 3,030 individuals(aged>20 years old)who received health physical examination in the Affiliated Hospital of Yanbian University from June 2019 to September 2019 were selected as the study objects.The correlation between the TyG index and the risk of hypertension was analyzed.Results:Age,body mass index(BMI),systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),fasting blood glucose(FBG),total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),low-density lipoprotein(LDL),aspartate transaminase(AST),alanine transaminase(ALT),gamma-glutamyl transferase(GGT),creatinine(Cre),urea nitrogen(BUN),serum uric acid(SUA),TyG levels,and the ratio of males to alcohol consumption in the hypertension group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05),while the HDL level was lower than those in the control group(P<0.05),with statistically significant differences.Without adjustments,the risk of hypertension in the high TyG index group was 2.686 times that of the control group(95%CI:2.260-3.1920).After adjusting for age,gender,smoking,BMI,TC,LDL,HDL,AST,ALT,GGT,CREA,BUN and UA,the risk of hypertension in the high TyG index group was 1.756 times that of the control group(95%CI:1.394-2.211).Conclusion:There is a correlation between the TyG index and the risk of hypertension.The TyG index can be used as an auxiliary index to predict hypertension.
