1. Triglyceride-cholesterol-body weight index raises the risk of hypertension in humans (HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.23–1.49).

   “In the fully adjusted model, high TCBI was associated with a higher risk of incident hypertension (HR 1.35, 95% CI 1.23–1.49)”

1. Triglyceride-cholesterol-body weight index is associated with incident diabetes in humans (HR 1.13, 95% CI 1.12–1.14 per 1-SD increase).

   “each 1-SD increase in TCBI was associated with a 13% higher risk of incident diabetes (HR = 1.13, 95% CI: 1.12-1.14; P < 0.001)”
