Why the study?
The correlation between the triglyceride glucose-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR) and stroke risk had not been extensively explored.

TyG-WHtR may support stroke risk stratification in middle-aged Chinese adults; leaves open validation and incremental utility in prospective studies.
Does the triglyceride glucose-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR) predict the risk of stroke in middle-aged and elderly Chinese adults?
The triglyceride glucose-waist-to-height ratio is a significant, non-linear predictor of stroke risk in middle-aged and older Chinese adults, particularly at values below 4.87.
