The Triglyceride-Glucose Index, an Insulin Resistance Marker, Was Non-linear Associated With All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in the General Population

Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index could serve as a convenient substitute of insulin resistance (IR), but epidemiological evidence on its relationship with the long-term risk of mortality is limited. Methods: Participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey during 1999–2014 were grouped according to TyG index (<8, 8–9, 9–10, >10). Cox regression was conducted to compute the hazard ratios (HRs)...
