Abstract:
Objective:To explore the relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and impairment of renal function in community-dwelling middle-aged and elderly population.Methods:A total of 4 988 residents aged ≥45 years undergoing health check-up in Yongshun Health Service Center from January 2016 to December 2021 were enrolled and followed up. According to the quartile of the baseline TyG index, all subjects were divided into Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 groups. The medical history, physical examination and laboratory test results were documented. Participants were followed up through regular health check-up until March 31, 2023. The outcomes were rapid decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (a loss in eGFR>3 ml·min -1·1.73 m -2 per year) and the new-onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD) during the follow-up period. Linear regression model, multivariate logistic regression model, restricted cubic spline fitting logistic regression model and ROC curve analysis were used to analyze the association between the TyG index and the impairment of renal function. Results:Among 4 988 residents, 1 396 (28.0%) were males and the age was (59.76±6.28) years. There were 1 247 participants in Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 groups, respectively. After 56 months of follow-up, the incidence of rapid eGFR decline and new-onset CKD was 21.9% (1 294/4 988) and 4.0% (200/4 988), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that TyG index was correlated positively with rapid eGFR decline and new-onset of CKD ( OR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.17-1.52, P<0.001, and OR=1.57, 95%CI:1.19-2.06, P=0.001). Taking group Q1 as a reference, higher levels of TyG index ( Q2, Q3 and Q4 groups) was an independent risk factor for rapid eGFR decline ( P<0.05), which has a dose-response relationship (for trend P=0.002). Compared with the lowest quartile, the adjusted OR of new-onset CKD in the highest quartile was 1.85 ( 95%CI:1.13-3.03, P=0.014). The results of restricted cubic spline fitting logistic regression analysis showed a linear association between TyG index and both outcomes (both P>0.05). The area under ROC curve ( AUC) of the TyG index for predicting the two adverse outcomes were 0.536 ( 95%CI: 0.516-0.556, P<0.001) and 0.588 ( 95%CI:0.548-0.627, P<0.001), respectively. Conclusion:The elevated levels of TyG index may be used as an independent predictor of rapid eGFR decline and new-onset CKD.
