This study assessed the association of the hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype with prediabetes and diabetes (DM) in a group of Hispanics. Analysis of a cross-sectional study of 858 adults residing in Puerto Rico that collected data on blood pressure, biochemical, and anthropometric measurements was performed. HTGW phenotype was defined as elevated triglycerides and elevated waist circumference. Prediabetes was defined as a fasting glucose of 100-125 mg/dL and DM as a fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dL or prior diagnosis. Prevalence of HTGW, prediabetes, and DM was 27.9, 38.0, and 21.6 %, respectively. Subjects with the HTGW phenotype had higher adjusted odds of prediabetes (POR 5.55; 95 % CI 3.38-9.13) and DM (POR 7.28; 95 % CI 3.63-14.63) compared to those without the phenotype. The association for prediabetes was stronger for women than among men. HTGW phenotype was strongly associated with prediabetes and DM, reinforcing the need to further assess its performance as a screening tool to identify at-risk individuals for cardiometabolic conditions.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 581 subjects, mainly older adults, were analyzed, assessing various traditional and non-traditional cardiometabolic risk markers alongside lymphocyte-to-HDL-c ratios.
- * Findings show that a high lymphocyte-to-HDL-c ratio is linked to multiple adverse metabolic conditions, supporting its use as a biomarker in cardiovascular risk assessment.
Association of hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotype with metabolic syndrome traits and its diagnostic potential to predict metabolic syndrome in adults with excess body weight: A community-based cross-sectional study.

Background: The hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype is a simple measure to identify individuals at increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) traits. The present study aimed to describe the HTGW prevalence, and its associations with MetS traits, and also determine the diagnostic potential of the mirror indices of HTGW phenotype to predict MetS and its components in community-dwelling adults with overweight or obesity in Southern, Sri Lanka.
Methods: In a cross-sectional study, 300 adults with excess body weight (body mass index >23 kg/m) were enrolled and examined for the HTGW phenotype (fasting plasma triglyceride concentration ≥1.
Relationship Between Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia and the Hypertriglyceridemic-Waist Phenotype in Korean Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the hypertriglyceridemic-waist (HTGW) phenotype and hyperuricemia in Korean adults, highlighting the risks associated with visceral fat accumulation.
- It included 23,240 adults and found that individuals with the HTGW phenotype had a significantly higher prevalence (3.44 times) of hyperuricemia compared to those with normal triglyceride and waist measurements.
- The results suggest that the HTGW phenotype is a strong predictor of hyperuricemia, especially in individuals with diabetes, and may be used alongside other indicators to improve diagnosis accuracy.

Background: Several easily and inexpensively measured indicators of visceral adiposity dysfunction are currently available, but it remains unclear whether they are correlated with stroke risk in the community-dwelling population. We aimed to examine the longitudinal association of the triglyceridemic-waist phenotypes, the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, as well as TyG-related indicators with stroke risk.
Methods: In this study, we conducted a prospective cohort study in Hunan, a region located in Central China, where the prevalence of stroke is relatively high.

Objectives: The hypertriglyceridaemic waist (HTGW) phenotype, an indicator to assess metabolic syndrome, could be a useful predictive marker for the risk of acute pancreatitis. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the HTGW phenotype and the risk of acute pancreatitis with a nationwide population-based cohort.
Design: A retrospective, nationwide cohort study.
