Abstract Objective: This study determined the optimal cutoff point for the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index for predicting subclinical atherosclerosis (SA). Subjects and methods: Overall, 10,039 participants (5,598 men and 4,441 women) aged > 18 years were recruited from Xiamen Chang Gung Hospital. Demographic information was provided, and the TyG index was calculated. The TyG index was categorized into quartiles, and SA was assessed by measuring brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). The cutoff point for the TyG index was determined via receiver […]

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the efficacy of the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index in predicting type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the general population. Subjects and methods: Baseline data were collected from a community population that underwent physical examination between 2015 and 2020. The TyG index was calculated via the following formula: TyG = Ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting blood glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Cox regression and stratified analyses were performed to evaluate the ability of the TyG score to predict the occurrence […]
