Description
Summary:Abstract Objectives To examine the impact of overactive bladder (OAB) on all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality in women in a real‐world setting, and to examine the association of TyG‐related indices with OAB. Methods Data on 6580 women aged ≥20 years were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database. Kaplan–Meier curves and Cox survival analysis were used to evaluate the association between OAB and all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality. Biomarkers for metabolic syndrome were assessed for their association with OAB, including triglyceride‐glucose (TyG) and TyG‐related indices. The association between TyG‐related indices and OAB was evaluated using restricted cubic splines (RCS), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and multivariate logistic regression, with propensity score matching (PSM) employed to balance confounders between OAB and non‐OAB groups. Results Kaplan–Meier curves showed that OAB was associated with a poorer prognosis, and multivariate Cox regression analyses indicated that OAB was an independent risk factor for both all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality. RCS revealed a positive association between TyG‐related indices and OAB. Both ROC curves and multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that TyG‐WHtR (TyG combined with waist‐to‐height ratio) was strongly associated with OAB, with a higher TyG‐WHtR associated with an increased risk of OAB. The retrospective design and selection bias may be the potential limitations. Conclusions OAB is positively associated with all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality in women. TyG‐related indices are positively associated with OAB, with TyG‐WHtR as the most effective index.
