To investigate the association between 8 insulin resistance (IR) surrogate markers and incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in population with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome (CKM) of stages 0-3, and to identify the surrogate marker with the best predictive performance.
A study was conducted on 20121 community residents classified as CKM stages 0-3 from the Chengdu cohort of the China Multi-Ethic Cohort. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) between each IR surrogate marker and incident ASCVD. Cubic spline regression was employed to explore the dose-response relationships between these markers and incident ASCVD. The relative relationships between different markers and incident ASCVD were examined through the ratio of HRs (RHRs). Time-dependent area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (TDAUC) and Uno's C-statistic were calculated to compare the predictive performance of each marker for incident ASCVD. Based on the PREVENT equation components and the 8 surrogate markers under analysis, random forest feature selection was used to determine the contribution of each marker to accurate prediction.
During a follow-up period of 82741.93 person-years, 1447 incident cases of ASCVD were recorded, with an incidence density of 17.49 per 1000 person-years. Association analyses indicated that the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL) and the TyG/(TG/HDL) index were not associated with incident ASCVD ( > 0.05). The TyG index combined with obesity measurement parameters emerged as a reliable predictor of ASCVD incidence. The most promising indicator, TyG index with waist-to-height ratio (TyG_WHtR), exhibited an inverted J-shaped association with incident ASCVD ( for nonlinearity = 0.045; TDAUC = 0.640; C = 0.634), while the TyG index with body mass index (TyG_BMI), waist circumference (TyG_WC), and waist-to-hip ratio (TyG_WHR) showed positive linear associations (all for trend < 0.05), with relatively lower predictive performance (C = 0.564, 0.588, and 0.598, respectively). Although both the TyG index and the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) were associated with increased ASCVD risk (TyG: Q2 vs. Q1, HR = 1.23 and Q4 vs. Q1, HR = 1.24; METS-IR: for non-linearity = 0.045), they exhibited poor predictive performance for incident ASCVD.
The TyG index combined with obesity measurement parameters is an ideal IR surrogate marker for predicting incident ASCVD in populations with stages 0-3 CKM. Monitoring these markers will facilitate the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases in CKM populations.
探讨8种胰岛素抵抗(IR)替代标志物与0 - 3期心血管-肾脏-代谢综合征(CKM)人群中动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(ASCVD)发病之间的关联,并确定预测性能最佳的替代标志物。
对来自中国多民族队列成都队列的20121名分类为0 - 3期CKM的社区居民进行了一项研究。采用Cox比例风险模型计算每种IR替代标志物与ASCVD发病之间的风险比(HRs)。采用三次样条回归探索这些标志物与ASCVD发病之间的剂量反应关系。通过HRs比值(RHRs)检查不同标志物与ASCVD发病之间的相对关系。计算受试者工作特征曲线下的时间依赖性面积(TDAUC)和Uno's C统计量,以比较每种标志物对ASCVD发病的预测性能。基于PREVENT方程成分和所分析的8种替代标志物,使用随机森林特征选择来确定每种标志物对准确预测的贡献。
在82741.93人年的随访期内,记录了1447例ASCVD发病病例,发病密度为每1000人年17.49例。关联分析表明,甘油三酯与高密度脂蛋白胆固醇比值(TG/HDL)和TyG/(TG/HDL)指数与ASCVD发病无关(>0.05)。TyG指数与肥胖测量参数相结合成为ASCVD发病的可靠预测指标。最有前景的指标,即TyG指数与腰高比(TyG_WHtR),与ASCVD发病呈倒J形关联(非线性检验P = 0.045;TDAUC = 0.640;C = 0.634),而TyG指数与体重指数(TyG_BMI)、腰围(TyG_WC)和腰臀比(TyG_WHR)呈正线性关联(趋势检验P均<0.05),预测性能相对较低(C分别为0.564、0.588和0.598)。虽然TyG指数和胰岛素抵抗代谢评分(METS - IR)均与ASCVD风险增加相关(TyG:Q2与Q1相比,HR = 1.23,Q4与Q1相比,HR = 1.24;METS - IR:非线性检验P = 0.045),但它们对ASCVD发病的预测性能较差。
TyG指数与肥胖测量参数相结合是预测0 - 3期CKM人群中ASCVD发病的理想IR替代标志物。监测这些标志物将有助于CKM人群心血管疾病的预防和控制。
