Objective: To investigate the association between hypertriglyceridemic waist (HTGW) phenotype and arterial stiffness in a Chinese population without hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Methods: A total number of 3028 subjects aged 40 years and over were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. All participants provided a clinical history and underwent a physical examination. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was used to evaluate arterial stiffness. HTGW phenotype was defined as the simultaneous presence of waist circumference ≥90/80 cm and triglycerides ≥2.0/1.5 mmol/L in men/women.
Results: The prevalence of HTGW phenotype was 7.5% among healthy participants in China (Beijing), 7.4% in men and 7.5% in women. Women with HTGW phenotype had a higher level of baPWV compared with normal WC and normal triglyceride (NWNT) group (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was observed in men (P > 0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed HTGW phenotype was significantly associated with baPWV after controlling for multiple factors in women. However, no significant relationship was observed in men.
Conclusions: The present study supports that HTGW phenotype is associated with increased arterial stiffness in women but not in men.

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.
