Joint association of body mass index, abdominal obesity, and triglyceride-glucose index with stroke risk: insights from the China health and retirement longitudinal study
The separate and combined effects of BMI, AO, and TyG index were significantly associated with the risk of stroke, with TyG index partially mediating the impact of BMI and AO on stroke events. The findings highlighted the importance of joint evaluation of BMI, AO, and TyG index for primary prevention of stroke.
