Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the risk of developing prehypertension in a cohort of Japanese individuals, aiming to clarify this connection.
- A total of 17,758 participants were monitored from 2017 to 2022, all initially normotensive and normoglycemic, and divided into quartiles based on their TyG index.
- Results indicated that higher TyG index quartiles are linked to a greater risk of progressing to prehypertension, with a clear dose-response relationship and moderate predictive value shown through ROC analysis.
Purpose: The triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio is considered an alternative marker for insulin resistance. This longitudinal retrospective study investigated the relationship between TG/HDL-C ratio and the risk of progression to prediabetes.
Methods: We investigated 24,604 Japanese participants (14,609 men and 9,995 women) who underwent annual medical health checkups in 2017 (baseline) and 2022.
Aims/introduction: The association between serum uric acid (SUA) levels and prediabetes risk remains poorly understood. The aim of this longitudinal retrospective study was to evaluate the association between SUA levels and prediabetes progression in Japanese individuals through sex-specific analysis.
Materials And Methods: We enrolled 20,743 participants (11,916 men and 8,827 women) who underwent annual medical health checkups in 2017 (baseline) and 2022.
