Abstract:
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is one of the parameters that have been used in assessing insulin resistance. Triglycerides and fasting blood glucose are two low-cost, common laboratory indicators that are used to compute the TyG index. This article reviews the link between the TyG index and several aspects concerning insulin resistance-related disorders and cardiovascular disease, as well as the use of various TyG index cutoffs in the above conditions with sensitivity and specificity, respectively, in various populations in the world.
