- Abstract
Stroke is a severe cerebrovascular disease. This study aimed to determine the association between triglyceride‑glucose (TyG) index and stroke among middle-aged and elderly Chinese. Data was extracted from China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study survey 2015 and survey 2018. Logistic regression, trend test and subgroup analysis were conducted to assess the association. Possible nonlinear relationships were explored with restricted cubic spline (RCS). Propensity score matching (PSM) was conducted to attenuate the effect of confounding factors. ORs of stroke was positively associated with TyG index. The ORs in RCS analysis also increased with the rising TyG, though p for non-linearity was bigger than 0.05. After PSM, the ORs in the full adjusted models were 1.28 (1.01, 1.62). TyG was suggested as an independent risk factor for stroke in the middle aged and elderly Chinese.
