Objective:To evaluate the effects of the Chinese visceral adiposity index(CVAI)and the Triglyceride-Glucose(TyG)index on the risk of hypertension among the elderly in the Zhengxiangbai Banner community of Inner Mongolia.Methods:This study selected elderly individuals who underwent physical examinations at the community health service center in Zhengxiangbai Banner, Inner Mongolia, from January 2024 to July 2024 as the study population.Based on the diagnostic criteria for hypertension, participants were divided into hypertensive and non-hypertensive groups.Data on demographics, body mass index(BMI), waist circumference(WC), fasting blood glucose(FSG), and blood lipids were collected.The CVAI, TyG, Triglyceride Glucose-Body Waist Circumference(TyG-WC), and Triglyceride Glucose-Body Mass Index(TyG-BMI)were calculated.Subjects were categorized into quartiles(1st to 4th)based on CVAI, TyG, TyG-WC, and TyG-BMI.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to explore the relationship between these indicators and the risk of hypertension in the elderly.Results:This study included a total of 3, 319 elderly subjects, comprising 1, 743 individuals in the hypertensive group and 1, 576 in the non-hypertensive group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the fourth quartile of the CVAI was a risk factor for hypertension when compared to the first quartile.Additionally, the second, third, and fourth quartiles of the TyG-BMI were identified as risk factors for hypertension relative to the first quartile.The analysis of the correlation strength between various obesity indexes and hypertension revealed that CVAI, TyG-WC, and TyG-BMI were independently correlated with the risk of hypertension.Notably, TyG-BMI exhibited a stronger association with hypertension( OR=1.006, 95% CI: 1.004-1.008).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that TyG-BMI possessed superior predictive ability for hypertension, with an AUC of 0.587(95% CI: 0.568-0.607).Furthermore, Decision Curve Analysis(DCA)also indicated that TyG-BMI had enhanced predictive capability.Further stratification by gender revealed that TyG-BMI in elderly men was independently correlated with the risk of hypertension( P<0.001), while CVAI in elderly women was independently correlated with the risk of hypertension( P<0.05).ROC curve analysis indicated that TyG-BMI in elderly men had better predictive ability for hypertension(AUC=0.582, 95% CI: 0.554~0.610).The difference in AUC compared to CVAI was statistically significant( P<0.01).DCA analysis further confirmed that TyG-BMI exhibited superior predictive ability. Conclusions:Our findings suggest that both CVAI and TyG-BMI exhibit superior predictive value for hypertension, with TyG-BMI demonstrating a particularly strong predictive capability in elderly men.
