Abstract

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Although the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been shown to be an independent risk factor for either hypertension or diabetes, its association with the coexistence of both conditions remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between the TyG index and all-cause and cause-specific mortality among patients with comorbid hypertension and diabetes. DESIGN: To e…
