Do the triglyceride-glucose index and its obesity-related derivatives predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive patients?
The TyG index and its obesity-related derivatives enhance risk stratification for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive patients.
The TyG index and its derivatives are significant predictors of mortality in hypertensive patients. Their inclusion in predictive models enhances risk stratification and may aid in the early identification of high-risk individuals in this population. Further studies are needed to validate these findings in external hypertensive cohorts.
Li et al. (2025) studied this question.
