Association between the triglyceride-glucose-waist-to-height ratio and cardiovascular disease in Chinese adults with sarcopenia or probable sarcopenia

In individuals with sarcopenia or probable sarcopenia, high TyG-WHtR is independently associated with higher CVD risk, demonstrating a distinct threshold effect. TyG-WHtR may be a valuable marker for predicting CVD risk in this population, thus enabling early cardiovascular risk stratification and personalized interventions for this group. However, these findings still require further validation through large-scale studies.
