Background: Despite abundant evidence on the epidemiological risk factors of metabolic diseases related to hyperuricemia, there is still insufficient evidence regarding the nonlinear relationship between triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and hyperuricemia. Thus, the purpose of this research is to clarify the nonlinear connection between TyG and hyperuricemia.

Methods: From 2011 to 2018, a cross-sectional study was carried out using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). This study had 8572 participants in all. TyG was computed as Ln [triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. The outcome variable was hyperuricemia. The association between TyG and hyperuricemia was examined using weighted multiple logistic regression, subgroup analysis, generalized additive models, smooth fitting curves, and two-piecewise linear regression models.

Results: In the regression model adjusting for all confounding variables, the OR (95% CI) for the association between TyG and hyperuricemia was 2.34 (1.70, 3.21). There is a nonlinear and reverse U-shaped association between TyG and hyperuricemia, with a inflection point of 9.69. The OR (95% CI) before the inflection point was 2.64 (2.12, 3.28), and after the inflection point was 0.32 (0.11, 0.98). The interaction in gender, BMI, hypertension, and diabetes analysis was statistically significant.

Conclusion: Additional prospective studies are required to corroborate the current findings, which indicate a strong positive connection between TyG and hyperuricemia among adults in the United States.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates how the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and genetic risk scores for urate transport genes together influence the likelihood of developing hyperuricemia in individuals aged 50 and older.
  • - Results show that higher TyG index levels are linked to increased serum urate levels, significantly raising the risk of hyperuricemia, especially in individuals with a higher genetic predisposition.
  • - The findings suggest a strong interaction between genetic factors and the TyG index, with over 50% of the increased risk of hyperuricemia associated with this interplay, highlighting its importance in understanding the condition.

The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a crucial marker of insulin resistance, as evidenced by numerous studies related to metabolic diseases. This bibliometric analysis investigates research trends associated with the TyG index over the past 24 years. We collected data on TyG index publications from January 1, 2000, to January 7, 2024, using the Web of Science database.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored the relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and the risk of developing gout using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted from 2007 to 2018.
  • Out of 14,924 participants, 726 were diagnosed with gout, showing a significant positive correlation between higher TyG index levels and gout risk, even after controlling for various factors.
  • The findings suggest that the TyG index is linked to gout, particularly among certain subgroups like females, individuals without military service, and those without diabetes, indicating the need for further research on this association.
