The triglyceride–glucose index and its obesity-related derivatives as predictors of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive patients: insights from NHANES data with machine learning analysis

The TyG index and its derivatives are significant predictors of mortality in hypertensive patients. Their inclusion in predictive models enhances risk stratification and may aid in the early identification of high-risk individuals in this population. Further studies are needed to validate these findings in external hypertensive cohorts.
