Relationship between the triglyceride-glucose index and depression in individuals with chronic kidney disease: A cross-sectional study from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005–2020

Year: 2024

Abstract: Accumulating evidence indicates that individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at an increased risk of experiencing depressive disorders, which may accelerate its progression. However, the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and depression in CKD individuals remains unclear. Therefore, this cross-sectional study aimed to assess whether such a relationship exists. To this end, the CKD cohort of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2020 was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression analyses and a generalized additive approach. A recursive algorithm was employed to pinpoint the turning point, constructing a dual-segment linear regression model. The study included 10,563 participants. After controlling for all variables, the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals indicated a 1.24 (range, 1.09-1.42) relationship between the TyG index and depression in the CKD cohort. The findings underscored an asymmetrical association, with a pivotal value at a TyG index 9.29. Above this threshold, the adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was 1.10 (range, 0.93-1.31). This relationship was significant among the obese subgroups. The study results highlight the complex relationship between the TyG index and depression among American adults with CKD.
