Abstract
Background
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has emerged as a surrogate marker for insulin resistance and is associated with the incidence and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods
Data from the ACCORD trial were used. The Cox proportional hazards model was employed to calculate hazard ratios (HRs), while generalized additive mixed models were used to capture the non-linear eGFR slope in each group. The primary outcome was CKD.
Results
9360 participants were included in this study, divided into tertiles based on their TyG index, with 3 119, 3 121, and 3 120 individuals in T1 (low), T2 (medium), and T3 (high), respectively. After a median follow-up of 4 years, 1 229 cases of CKD (13.30 %) occurred. Among women rather than men, CKD risk increased across ascending TyG index groups (adjusted HR for T3, Model 3, 1.46 [95 % CI, 1.13–1.88]) (p for interaction = 0.03). Additionally, longitudinal analysis revealed a rapid eGFR decline in women in the T3 group (−4.79 mL/min/1.73 m2) than the T1 group (−3.07 mL/min/1.73 m2, p < 0.05), but not in men.
Conclusions
A higher TyG index was associated with elevated CKD risk and accelerated eGFR decline, particularly in women.
