摘要:

目的: 在大样本社区人群队列中探索甘油三酯-葡萄糖(triglyceride-glucose, TyG)指数与心血管病发病和死亡的关联。方法: 研究对象为2010年1月1日至2020年5月31日纳入中国鄞州电子健康档案研究(CHinese Electronic health Records Research in Yinzhou, CHERRY)队列中40~79岁基线无心血管病史的人群。根据个体的基线甘油三酯和血糖水平计算TyG指数,采用Cox比例风险模型分析TyG指数与心血管病发病和死亡的关联,调整年龄、性别、教育水平、居住地、吸烟状态、体重指数、收缩压及总胆固醇等影响因素后计算风险比(hazard ratio, HR)及其95%置信区间(confidence interval, CI)。采用限制性立方样条回归方法进一步分析TyG指数与心血管病发病和死亡的非线性关联,并按性别、年龄分层探索其关联在不同亚组的差异。结果: 共纳入226 406名研究对象,人群的基线平均年龄为(55.0±9.7)岁,46.8%为男性,TyG指数的中位数为8.68。在中位随访7.99年期间,9 815人(4.34%)出现心血管病发病和死亡。调整年龄、性别、教育水平、居住地、吸烟状态、体重指数、收缩压及总胆固醇等影响因素后,心血管病发病和死亡的风险呈现随TyG指数增加而增大的趋势(P < 0.001),TyG指数处于上四分位数(TyG>9.10)组与下四分位数组(TyG≤8.32)相比,心血管病发病和死亡的风险增加42%(HR=1.42,95%CI:1.34~1.51)。TyG指数对于60岁以下低年龄组人群的心血管病发病和死亡风险增加的效应值相比60岁及以上人群更明显(HR:1.71 vs. 1.27,P < 0.05)。限制性立方样条回归的结果进一步显示,在总人群中TyG指数与心血管病发病和死亡的关联呈现“反L型”关系(非线性趋势P < 0.001),TyG指数超过8.67阈值时心血管病发病和死亡的风险随该指数的增加而升高;但这种非线性关联的风险阈值存在性别差异,女性(8.51)低于男性(8.67)。结论: TyG指数与心血管病发病和死亡存在明显阈值效应的非线性关系,当TyG指数超过一定阈值时,心血管病发病和死亡发生的风险增加,且女性的阈值低于男性,提示后续利用TyG指数开展综合风险预测与危险因素干预时,需要按性别分层管理,特别是在60岁以下人群中开展早期干预具有重要的公共卫生学意义。

Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a large population-based cohort. Methods: Participants aged 40-79 years without a history of CVD at baseline were drawn from the CHinese Electronic health Records Research in Yinzhou (CHERRY) study between January 1, 2010, and May 31, 2020. The TyG index was calculated using baseline triglyceride and fasting blood glucose. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the association between the TyG index and the composite outcome of CVD (incidence and mortality), adjusting for age, gender, education, region, smoking status, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, and total cholesterol. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Nonlinear associations between the TyG index and CVD were further evaluated using restricted cubic splines, and subgroup analyses by gender and age were conducted to explore potential differences. Results: A total of 226 406 individuals were included, with a mean age of (55.0±9.7) years at baseline, 46.8% of whom were men, and a median TyG index of 8.68. Over a median follow-up of 7.99 years, 9 815 (4.34%) participants experienced CVD incidence or mortality. After adjusting for age, gender, education, region, smoking status, body mass index, systolic blood pressure and total cholesterol, the risk of CVD increased with higher TyG index levels (P < 0.001). The risk in the highest TyG quartile (TyG>9.10) was 42% higher than in the lowest quartile (TyG≤8.32) (HR=1.42, 95%CI: 1.34-1.51). Individuals under 60 years had a higher HR for CVD compared with those aged 60 years and above (HR: 1.71 vs. 1.27, P < 0.05). Restricted cubic spline analysis revealed a reverse L-shaped association between the TyG index and CVD risk in the overall population (P < 0.001 for nonlinear trend), with risk increasing after the TyG index exceeded 8.67. However, the threshold varied by gender, with a lower threshold in women (8.51) than in men (8.67). Conclusion: A significant nonlinear relationship was revealed between the TyG index and CVD risk, with a threshold effect. The risk of CVD increased once the TyG index surpassed a certain threshold, with a lower threshold in women than in men. These findings suggest that cardiovascular risk prediction and interventions based on the TyG index should be gender-stratified, and early intervention for individuals under 60 years old might have important public health implications.
