Why the study?
The combined association of triglyceride-glucose index and different systolic blood pressure levels with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality among the general population remains unclear.
Does the combination of low triglyceride-glucose index and low systolic blood pressure reduce the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the general population?

May aid mortality risk stratification in general populations; leaves open prospective validation before guiding practice.
Does the combination of low triglyceride-glucose index and low systolic blood pressure reduce the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the general population?
Maintaining both a low TyG index and optimal SBP (<130 mmHg) is associated with reduced all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the general population.
