Interacting and joint effects of triglyceride-glucose index and hypertension on stroke risk in middle-aged and older Chinese adults: a population-based prospective cohort study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundTriglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and hypertension were well-established risk factors for stroke. However, no prior study has investigated the interactive effects of the TyG index and hypertension on stroke. This cohort study included 9,145 middle-aged and older Chinese adults without stroke at baseline.
