Association between sedentary behavior, physical activity, and the triglyceride glucose index and its derived indices: evidence from NHANES 2013–2018
Prolonged sedentary behavior and lower physical activity showed associations with adverse profiles of the TyG index and its derivatives. Significant interactions between these behaviors were observed, indicating a particularly important combined association with central obesity-related indices. Integrating reductions in sedentary time with increases in physical activity could represent a synergistic approach for improving metabolic health.
