Triglyceride-Glucose Index Mediates the Effect of General and Central Obesity on Cardiovascular Disease: A Prospective Cohort Study

2021-06-22

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> The mechanisms linking obesity to cardiovascular disease (CVD) are still not clearly defined. Individuals who are overweight or obese often develop insulin resistance, mediation of the association between obesity and CVD through the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index (a simple surrogate of insulin resistance) seems plausible and has not been investigated.
