BackgroundThe association between hypertriglyceridemic-waist (HTGW) phenotype and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains inconsistent and debatable. We aimed to prospectively investigate the relationship between HTGW phenotype and CVD.Methods and resultsWe included 8,216 participants from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Participants were categorized into four subgroups: NTNW: normal triglyceride levels and normal waist circumference; HTNW: high triglyceride levels and normal waist circumference; NTGW: normal triglyceride levels with enlarged waist circumference; HTGW: high triglyceride levels and enlarged waist circumference. A Cox proportional hazards model was applied to determine the association between HTGW phenotype and CVD. A meta-analysis was conducted to incorporate the results of the current study and the previous-related studies on the association of HTGW phenotype and CVD. In the present cohort study, compared to the NTNW phenotype, those with NTGW (Hazard ratios (HRs) 1.34, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) 1.16–1.55) and HTGW (HRs 1.37, 95% CIs 1.16–1.62) phenotype were significantly associated with CVD risk. The meta-analysis further confirmed the significant association between HTGW phenotype and CVD [the pooled relative risk for HTGW vs. NTNW was 1.39 (1.29–1.49)].ConclusionThe HTGW phenotype was associated with the increased risk of CVD, independently of established risk factors. A simple assessment of HTGW phenotypes might help to identify individuals with a high risk of developing CVD. |
