The association between triglyceride-glucose index and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and all-cause mortality in the general US population: NHANES 2001–2018

This study included 15388 participants. During a median follow-up of 118 months, 2,333 participants died. After adjusting for potential confounders, no significant association was found between the TyG index and mortality. However, compared to the lowest quartile, participants in the highest quartile of the TyG-NLR index showed a significant association with all-cause mortality. Specifically, those in the highest quartile had a 63% higher risk of all-cause mortality.
