Examination of long-term trajectories of a composite triglyceride-glucose-BMI index and its association with future cardiovascular disease risk.
Key Takeaways
- Is known to be the mechanism underlying development of type 2 diabetes
- Therefore, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been developed as a surrogate marker of IR ( 5 )
- It has been shown that the TyG index has strong correlations with hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp test
