Key result
Higher triglyceride glucose index linked to ~34% greater heart failure prevalence per 1-unit increase.
Why the study?
Insulin resistance prevalence and the association between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and heart failure in Americans remained unclear.
Is a higher triglyceride glucose (TyG) index associated with an increased prevalence of heart failure in US adults?
Population
12,388 people from NHANES (2009-2018), including 322 with heart failure
Comparison
Higher vs lower TyG index levels
Design
Cross-sectional survey analysis

TyG index may mark higher HF prevalence in US adults; leaves open causality and clinical utility pending prospective studies.
Cross-Sectional (n=12,388)
Is a higher triglyceride glucose (TyG) index associated with an increased prevalence of heart failure in US adults?
Effect estimate: OR 1.34 (95% CI 1.02-1.76)
p-value: p=0.04
The TyG index, a surrogate marker for insulin resistance, is significantly associated with a higher prevalence of heart failure among US adults.
Li et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Heart failure (n=12,388). Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index vs. Lower TyG index was evaluated on Prevalence of heart failure (OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.02-1.76, p=0.04). A 1-unit increment in the triglyceride glucose index was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of heart failure among US adults (OR 1.34).
