Combined effect of triglyceride glucose-body mass index and hypertension on new-onset stroke: evidence from the China health and retirement longitudinal study

Our study reveals that the combined effect of TyG-BMI and hypertension may increase the risk of incident stroke in the middle-aged and older adult Chinese population. TyG-BMI correlates with comorbid conditions and enhances traditional risk assessment. Future research will require validation through larger sample sizes or diverse populations to further confirm this finding.
