Body mass index influence the association between triglyceride-glucose index and atherosclerosis in community population: the cardiometabolic risk in Chinese (CRC) study
Abstract:Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an universal problem in modern society. Atherosclerosis is the leading cause of CVD resulting in high rate of mortality in the population. The study aimed to examine the association of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a novel marker of insulin resistance, with atherosclerosis in Chinese adults, and the effects of different body mass index (BMI) levels on this relationship.Methods: The study samples were from a community-based health examination survey in central Chi… Show more
