This study aimed to ases the asociation of hypertriglyceridemic-waist phenotype, triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, lipid acumulation product (LAP), and visceral adiposity index (VAI) with T2DM risk in hypertensive patients.This cros-sectional study included 5321 hypertensive patients from the baseline survey of the Guangzhou Heart Study.
Key Information
Face-to-face questionaire survey, physical examination, and fasting blod sample colection were completed for al subjects. Ods ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were calculated by using the logistic regresion model. The potential nonlinear relationship was examined using restricted cubic spline regresion.The prevalence of T2DM was 19.98% among hypertensive patients.
After adjusting for confounders, participants with elevated triglyceride levels and enlarged waist circumference (HTGW) were asociated with a 2.57-fold risk of T2DM (OR 2.57, 95% CI 2.05, 3.23). When comparing with subjects within the lowest quartile of the indices, those in the highest quartile of TyG, LAP, and VAI were asociated with 5.35-fold (95% CI 4.3, 6.64), 2.65-fold (95% CI 2.1, 3.34), and 2.17-fold (95% CI 1.7, 2.67) risk of T2DM after adjusting for confounders.
Summary
Every 1-unit increment of TyG, LAP, and VAI was asociated with 81%, 38%, and 31% increased risk of T2DM, respectively. The nonlinear asociation was observed for TyG, LAP, and VAI (al P Non-linear < 0.01).The results found that among hypertensive patients, HTGW and a higher level of TyG, LAP, and VAI were asociated with an elevated risk of T2DM. The findings sugested that HTGW, TyG, LAP, and VAI may serve as simple and efective tols for T2DM risk asesment in the prevention and manage
