    The study analyzed data from 47,577 individuals in the Kailuan Study to investigate cumulative TyG-BMI exposure and CVD risk.

  • 2

    Cumulative TyG-BMI exposure was calculated as the weighted sum of mean TyG-BMI across three health examinations.

  • 3

    A total of 3,514 cardiovascular events occurred during a median follow-up of 10 years, with increased risk linked to higher TyG-BMI quartiles.

  • 4

    Cox regression analysis showed hazard ratios for CVD risk of 1.32, 1.33, and 1.44 for higher TyG-BMI quartiles compared to the lowest.

  • 5

    The area under the ROC curve for cumulative TyG-BMI was 0.6047, indicating modestly better predictive performance than TyG and BMI alone.
