Article Synopsis
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major global health issue, and this study explored the link between the TyG index and various heart-related risks in non-diabetic patients in the U.S.
- Researchers analyzed data from over 10,000 participants from the NHANES survey (2001-2020) to assess how the TyG index relates to conditions like coronary heart disease, heart attacks, and hypertension.
- While a higher TyG index was associated with increased cardiovascular risk factors, it was found to be a poor predictor of actual cardiovascular diseases in the studied population.
