This study seeks to investigate the clinical value of SHR as a predictive tool for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in these patient groups. This study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 1999 to 2018, encompassing 3,507 individuals diagnosed with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) or chronic kidney disease (CKD). The primary endpoints included all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality, with mortality data obtained from the National Death Index (NDI) through December 31, 2019. Participants were categorized into quartiles based on the stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR), and Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to examine the association between SHR and mortality. Model 1 did not account for any covariates, Model 2 adjusted for age, sex, and race, while Model 3 additionally incorporated adjustments for educational attainment, marital status, body mass index, smoking behavior, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and cardiovascular disease. The study comprised 3,507 patients with a mean age of 60.7 years, of whom 56% were female. The overall incidence of all-cause mortality was 38,000 per 100,000 person-years, while cardiovascular mortality was 11,405 per 100,000 person-years.

In non-diabetic patients, the associations were consistent: TyG-BMI 1.75 (95% CI: 1.47-2.08), TyG-WC 1.47 (95% CI: 1.24-1.75), and TyG-WHtR 1.34 (95% CI: 1.13-1.60). However, in diabetes patients, no significant associations were found between TyG, TyG-WC, TyG-WHtR and heart disease risk except for the highest quartile of TyG-BMI (HR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.02-3.40).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>In the national population study, higher TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR indices were significantly associated with an increased risk of heart disease, with TyG-BMI and TyG-WC showing stronger correlations. While this association was evident in non-T2D patients, only TyG-BMI was associated with heart disease incidence in T2D patients, underscoring the necessity for further investigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":9374,"journal":{"name":"Cardiovascular Diabetology","volume":"24 1","pages":"54"},"PeriodicalIF":8.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11803996/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143363576","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
