Observational analysis associates triglyceride-glucose index and body mass index with increased cardiovascular risks in T2DM, indicating significant mortality implications.
Key Points
A higher TyG-BMI is significantly associated with increased risks of cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in T2DM patients.
The highest TyG-BMI quartile shows cardiovascular mortality risks 1.74 times greater compared to the lowest quartile.
Cox's proportional-hazards model and spline regression were employed to examine associations with mortality risk.
Introducing TyG-BMI into prediction models notably improved assessability for cardiovascular outcomes and mortality.
