The triacylglycerol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C) has been recognized as one of the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. We aimed to investigate the relationship between TG/HDL-C and hypertension in a Chinese middle-aged and elderly population.
We used data from the CHARLS database 2011-2018 to explore the relationship between TG/HDL-C and hypertension through cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Hypertension was identified by self-report or taking anti-hypertensive medications. Participants aged below 45, or with missing data on TG/HDL-C or hypertension record, or taking lipid-lowering medication were excluded. Participants were divided into three or two groups based on triplets TG/HDL-C and median TG/HDL-C in cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis, and restricted cubic splines were used in statistics.
In the cross-sectional analysis, a total of 12,824 participants were included, after adjusting for potential confounders, there was a significant association between higher TG/HDL-C and increased prevalence of hypertension (OR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.65-2.09, p < 0.001), systolic blood pressure (SBP) above 140 mmHg (OR = 1.37, 95% CI: 1.25-1.50, p < 0.0001), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) above 90 mmHg (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.29-1.67, p < 0.0001), and pulse pressure (PP) above 60 mmHg (OR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.07-1.29, p < 0.0011). The longitudinal analysis included 7909 participants, there was a significant association between higher TG/HDL-C and increased incidence of hypertension (OR = 1.51, 95% CI: 1.32-1.73,p < 0.001). Restricted cubic splines show nonlinear relationship between TG/HDL-C and hypertension.
These results demonstrated significant positive association between TG/HDL-C and the prevalence & incidence of hypertension, in a nationwide representative middle-aged and elderly population in China.
甘油三酯与高密度脂蛋白胆固醇比值(TG/HDL-C)已被认为是心血管疾病、胰岛素抵抗和代谢综合征的危险因素之一。我们旨在研究中国中老年人群中TG/HDL-C与高血压之间的关系。
我们使用2011 - 2018年中国健康与养老追踪调查(CHARLS)数据库的数据,通过横断面研究和纵向研究来探讨TG/HDL-C与高血压之间的关系。高血压通过自我报告或服用抗高血压药物来确定。年龄在45岁以下、TG/HDL-C或高血压记录数据缺失、或正在服用降脂药物的参与者被排除。在横断面分析和纵向分析中,根据三分位数TG/HDL-C和中位数TG/HDL-C将参与者分为三组或两组。采用多变量逻辑回归分析、亚组分析和限制性立方样条进行统计学分析。
横断面分析共纳入12824名参与者,在调整潜在混杂因素后,较高的TG/HDL-C与高血压患病率增加(OR = 1.86,95%CI:1.65 - 2.09,p < 0.001)、收缩压(SBP)高于140 mmHg(OR = 1.37,95%CI:1.25 - 1.50,p < 0.0001)、舒张压(DBP)高于90 mmHg(OR = 1.47,95%CI:1.29 - 1.67,p < 0.0001)以及脉压(PP)高于60 mmHg(OR = 1.17,95%CI:1.07 - 1.29,p < 0.0011)之间存在显著关联。纵向分析纳入7909名参与者,较高的TG/HDL-C与高血压发病率增加(OR = 1.51,95%CI:1.32 - 1.73,p < 0.001)之间存在显著关联。限制性立方样条显示TG/HDL-C与高血压之间存在非线性关系。
这些结果表明,在中国全国代表性的中老年人群中,TG/HDL-C与高血压的患病率和发病率之间存在显著正相关。
