Association between the triglyceride-glucose-waist-to-height ratio and early arterial stiffness in cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome
The TyG-WHtR index is significantly associated with arterial stiffness and may offer potential value in vascular risk evaluation in patients with CKM syndrome, demonstrating a particularly strong correlation with baPWV during early disease stages (0-1), independent of conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Notably, this index exhibits superior predictive performance compared to existing TyG variants, with enhanced clinical utility for risk stratification, especially in male populations.
