The interaction between triglyceride-glucose index and visceral adiposity in cardiovascular disease risk: findings from a nationwide Chinese cohort
This study suggests that the interaction between IR (TyG index) and visceral fat accumulation (CVAI) plays a complex role in CVD risk, with a potential antagonistic effect observed between high TyG and high CVAI on CVD events. These findings highlight the importance of considering both IR and visceral adiposity in CVD risk assessments to improve the identification of high-risk individuals.
