Triglyceride glucose-body mass index is associated with cardiovascular outcomes and overall mortality in type-2 diabetes mellitus patients

Figure 5 Receiver-operating characteristic analysis for cardiovascular outcomes and total mortality. A: Cardiovascular mortality; B: Congestive heart failure; C: Total mortality. The conventional model + triglyceride glucose (TyG)-body mass index (BMI) included clinically recognized cardiovascular risk factors (sex, age, education, smoking status, duration of diabetes, previous hypertension, previous hyperlipidemia, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, proteinuria, depression, fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol) along with TyG-BMI levels, while the conventional model included only the standard cardiovascular risk factors. TyG: Triglyceride glucose; BMI: Body mass index; CHF: Congestive heart failure; AUC: Area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve.
