Abstract
Objective: This retrospective study aims to assess the association of the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) with postmenopausal osteoporosis and investigate longitudinal changes in TyG index levels in relation to osteoporosis risk.
Methods: Out of 704 women, after excluding those with osteopenia, a total of 517 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included. Participants were categorized based on T-scores derived from lumbar spine dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans. Demographic data, biochemical parameters and TyG index levels were analyzed. Logistic regression, correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were employed for statistical evaluation.
Results: The osteoporosis group (n = 254) exhibited significantly higher TyG index and triglyceride levels compared to controls (n = 263). Longitudinal analysis revealed significant increases in TyG index levels among women developing osteoporosis over time. ROC analysis demonstrated the TyG index's accuracy for osteoporosis (first TyG area under the curve [AUC]: 0.767, second TyG AUC: 0.818, p < 0.001). Regression analyses identified the TyG index as a significant factor associated with osteoporosis (odds ratio: 39.468, 95% confidence interval: 12.884-120.903, p < 0.001).
Conclusions: The TyG index emerges as a valuable indicator for postmenopausal osteoporosis. These results emphasize the need for integrating metabolic health indicators into osteoporosis management strategies, warranting further research into targeted interventions.
期刊介绍:
Climacteric is the official journal of the International Menopause Society (IMS). As an international peer-reviewed journal it publishes original research and reviews of all aspects of aging in women.
Climacteric was founded by the IMS in 1998 and today has become a leading journal in the publication of peer-reviewed papers on the menopause, climacteric and mid-life health. Topics covered include endocrine changes, symptoms attributed to the menopause and their treatment, hormone replacement and alternative therapies, lifestyles, and the counselling and education of peri- and postmenopausal women. Climacteric, published bimonthly, also features regular invited reviews, editorials and commentaries on recent developments.
The editorial review board of Climacteric includes leading scientific and clinical experts in the field of midlife medicine and research and is headed by its Editor-in-Chief, Professor Rod Baber of Australia. He and his team of Associate Editors act independently to set a clear editorial policy, co-ordinate peer review, and ensure a rapid response to submitted papers.
