The study found that compared to HOMA-IR, the TyG index is independently and more strongly associated with arterial stiffness in patients with T2D. Seemingly unrelated regression estimation analysis and multivariable logistic analyses showed that the TyG index was positively associated with the prevalence of increased arterial stiffness, especially in older patients with a longer duration of diabetes and poor glycaemic control. Subgroup analyses revealed a more significant association between the TyG index and arterial stiffness in specific patient populations.
BackgroundThe triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) has been proposed as a simple and reliable alternative insulin resistance (IR) marker, while the homeostasis model assessment for IR (HOMA-IR) is the most frequently used index. Few studies have evaluated the role of IR assessed by the TyG index and HOMA-IR on arterial stiffness in a type 2 diabetes (T2D) population with a high risk of increased arterial stiffness. We aimed to investigate the association of the TyG index and HOMA-IR with arterial stiffness in patients with T2D. MethodsWe recruited 3185 patients with T2D, who underwent brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), an indicator of arterial stiffness, but without previous cardiovascular disease. Increased arterial stiffness was defined as a baPWV value greater than the 75th percentile (18.15 m/s) in the present study. The TyG index was determined as ln(fasting triglycerides [mg/dL]xfasting glucose [mg/dL]/2), and the HOMA-IR was calculated as (fasting insulin [mu IU/mL]xfasting glucose [mmol/L])/22.5. ResultsThe mean age of the study participants was 54.612.0 years, and 1954 (61.4%) were men. Seemingly unrelated regression estimation analysis demonstrated that the TyG index had stronger associations with baPWV than the HOMA-IR (all P<0.001). In the multivariable logistic analyses, each one-unit increase in the TyG index was associated with a 1.40-fold (95% CI 1.16-1.70, P<0.001) higher prevalence of increased arterial stiffness, but the prominent association of the HOMA-IR with the prevalence of increased arterial stiffness was not observed. Subgroup analyses showed that a more significant association between the TyG index and the prevalence of increased arterial stiffness was detected in older patients with a longer duration of diabetes and poor glycaemic control (all P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with the HOMA-IR, the TyG index is independently and more strongly associated with arterial stiffness in patients with T2D.
