- The study investigates the joint predictive power of triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and remnant cholesterol (RC) for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome.
- Data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2020) was used, with participants categorized based on TyG and RC levels.
- Individuals with both high TyG and high RC showed significantly elevated CVD risk compared to those with low levels of both.
- Over a median follow-up of 9.0 years, 23.2% of participants in CKM Stages 0-3 developed CVD.
- The TyG-RC index, created by multiplying TyG and RC, demonstrated superior predictive value for CVD risk compared to other indices like TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, etc.
- The study concludes that the TyG-RC index is a more effective tool for CVD risk assessment than using TyG or RC individually.
