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.
