Description
Zeyu Liang and colleagues test blood-fat and body-shape indexes for heart risk in sleep apnea patients in work published in 2026. Adults with obstructive sleep apnea face high rates of coronary heart disease, yet which simple index sorts their risk best was unclear.
The team studied 1122 adults who had both sleep testing and coronary imaging at one center. Of these, 533 patients had heart disease and 589 did not, as counted in the report. They compared the triglyceride-glucose index alone with blends that fold in waist and body shape measures. Each index was scaled per standard step and run through adjusted models for both current disease and later major heart events. They also probed whether body fat spread explains part of the link. The results can help clinics triage apnea patients for heart checks.
