Association between triglyceride glucose index and odds of hip fracture in patients with or without type 2 diabetes: a cross-sectional study
Link Between Triglyceride-Glucose Index and Hip Fracture Risk
Overview
This study investigates the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and hip fracture risk in Chinese individuals, revealing that higher TyG levels are associated with hip fractures in those without type 2 diabetes, while no such association exists for those with diabetes.
Background
Hip fractures represent a significant public health concern, with increasing incidence projected globally. Insulin resistance, indicated by the TyG index, has shown variable associations with fracture risk, necessitating further exploration of its implications in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes.
Data Highlights
Group
Odds of Hip Fracture
P-value
Type 2 Diabetes
27.5%
0.734
Non-Type 2 Diabetes
26.3%
Key Findings
TyG index calculated from fasting glucose and triglyceride levels.
Odds of hip fractures were similar in T2D (27.5%) and non-T2D (26.3%) groups.
Increasing TyG significantly reduced hip fracture odds in non-T2D individuals (OR = 0.45).
No significant association between TyG and bone mineral density in either group.
Significant interaction observed between T2D status and TyG on hip fracture odds (p < 0.01).
Clinical Implications
The findings suggest that TyG may have different implications for fracture risk assessment in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes.
Conclusion
The study highlights the importance of diabetes status in the relationship between the TyG index and hip fracture risk.
