What is tyg-waist circumference linked with?
2Studies link tyg-waist circumference with 2 measures: cardiometabolic disease and cardio-renal-metabolic multimorbidity.
Cardiometabolic disease

1 study
Cardiometabolic disease
upin humans1
Tyg-waist circumference is linked with a higher risk of cardiometabolic disease in humans (high index with low MVPA, compared with low index and high MVPA) (aHR 1.96 (95% CI 1.77-2.17)).

Cardio-renal-metabolic multimorbidity
upin humans1
Tyg-waist circumference is linked with a higher risk of cardio-renal-metabolic multimorbidity in humans (per 1-SD increase; first, double and triple CRM diseases) (+51.4% risk of first CRM disease per 1-SD increase).
