Research Article: Association of Triglyceride-Glucose Index with the Risk of Hyperhomocysteinemia Among Chinese Male Bus Drivers: A Longitudinal Study
Abstract:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been identified as one of the most significant leading causes of mortality and morbidity globally, as well the top cause of death in China. Owing to the sensitive and stressful occupation characteristics, bus drivers were reported to have a higher risk of CVD. Homocysteine (Hcy) is a sulfhydryl-containing amino acid presenting in plasma and an important in-process product in the metabolism of cysteine and methionine.,, Recent research has proved that hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) was an independent predictor for CVD,– defined as the level of serum Hcy greater than .µmol/L. In addition, HHcy was verified to be associated with carcinoma, Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetic kidney disease.– It is worth noting that the prevalence of HHcy in China is significantly higher than in other countries;– and its incidence is much higher in men than in women.,–
