    Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability globally, necessitating effective screening and intervention strategies.

  • 2

    Insulin resistance is a significant predictor of stroke risk, with the triglyceride-glucose index linked to elevated stroke risk.

  • 3

    The triglyceride glucose-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR) may enhance predictive accuracy for stroke risk compared to traditional measures.

  • 4

    The study utilized data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, involving over 8618 middle-aged and older participants.
