Abstract
Objective Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) is a representative human sensory impairment, few studies have paid attention to the correlation between the Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) index and SNHL to date. We conducted this analysis to elucidate the correlation between the TyG index and pure tone hearing thresholds among US adults. Methods Our analysis included 1226 adults (age range: 20 to 69 years old) from the 2015-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. TyG index was scored into three quartiles. Weighted univariate analysis, weighted multivariate linear regression analyses as well as smooth curve fittings evaluated the associations between TyG index and pure tone hearing thresholds. Results In the multiple regression analysis, the second tertile of TyG index was negatively associated with high-frequency hearing thresholds shifts. Furthermore, the non-linear relationships between TyG index and speech-frequency and high-frequency hearing thresholds were identified by smooth curve fittings. After adjusting for potential confounders, the fitted smooth curves were approximately U-shaped, and the two-segment linear regression models were constructed to calculate their inflection points. Conclusion Our findings suggested that the TyG index was nearly U-shaped association with speech-frequency and high-frequency hearing thresholds. These results may imply the importance of maintaining a balanced TyG index in health management.

Abstract
The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been confirmed a predictive value for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, no research has yet confirmed whether there is a linear correlation between the TyG index and MACCEs in DFUs. The present study aimed to delve into the association between the TyG index and the risk of MACCEs in patients with DFUs. A total of 960 inpatients with DFUs were recruited. All participants were followed up every 6 months for 11 years with a median of 83 months. According to the cut-off value of the TyG index acquired from receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, the subjects were divided into two groups: low-level (<9.12, n = 480) and high-level (≥9.12, n = 480). The relationship between the TyG index and MACCEs was evaluated by the multivariable Cox regression model, restricted cubic spline (RCS) model, stratified analysis and the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Out of 960 participants, 271 experienced MACCEs (28.22%), of whom 79 (29.15%) died. ROC analysis got the optimal TyG index cut-off value of 9.12. Multivariable Cox regression analysis combined with the RCS model showed that the TyG index was positively associated with MACCEs in an S-shaped non-linear dose-dependent manner within the range of TyG index 7.5-9.5 (p < 0.001). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated the higher the TyG index, the greater the cumulative incidence of MACCEs (log-rank, p < 0.001). The study first confirmed an S-shaped non-linear dose-dependent positive relationship between the TyG index and the risk of MACCEs in DFUs. Consequently, lowering the TyG index level aids in improving the prognosis of patients with DFUs.

Abstract
Background and Aim An elevated triglyceride-glucose (TyG) level is associated with increased risk of mortality in patients with CAD. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) has mechanistic links to atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) pathogenesis and is correlated with adverse outcomes. However, the incremental prognostic value of TMAO and TyG in the cohort of optical coherence tomography (OCT)-defined high-risk ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients is unknown. Methods We studied 274 consecutive aged ≥18 years patients with evidence of STEMI and detected on pre-intervention OCT imaging of culprit lesions between March 2017 and March 2019. Outcomes There were 22 (22.68%), 27 (27.84%), 26 (26.80%), and 22 (22.68%) patients in groups A-D, respectively. The baseline characteristics according to the level of TMAO and TyG showed that patients with higher level in both indicators were more likely to have higher triglycerides (p < 0.001), fasting glucose (p < 0.001) and higher incidence of diabetes (p = 0.008). The group with TMAO > median and TyG ≤ median was associated with higher rates of MACEs significantly (p = 0.009) in fully adjusted analyses. During a median follow-up of 2.027 years, 20 (20.6%) patients experienced MACEs. To evaluate the diagnostic value of the TyG index combined with TMAO, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for predicting MACEs after full adjustment was 0.815 (95% confidence interval, 0.723-0.887; sensitivity, 85.00%; specificity, 72.73%; cut-off level, 0.577). Among the group of patients with TMAO > median and TyG ≤ median, there was a significantly higher incidence of MACEs (p=0.033). A similar tendency was found in the cohort with hyperlipidemia (p=0.016) and diabetes mellitus (p=0.036). Conclusion This study demonstrated the usefulness of combined measures of the TyG index and TMAO in enhancing risk stratification in STEMI patients with OCT-defined high-risk plaque characteristics. Trial Registration This study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT03593928.

Abstract
Objective Major depressive disorder (MDD) sufferers frequently have psychotic symptoms, yet the underlying triggers remain elusive. Prior research suggests a link between insulin resistance (IR) and increased occurrence of psychotic symptoms. Hence, this study sought to investigate the potential association between psychotic symptoms in Chinese patients experiencing their first-episode drug-naïve (FEDN) MDD and the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, an alternative measure of insulin resistance (IR). Methods Between September 2016 and December 2018, 1,718 FEDN MDD patients with an average age of 34.9 ± 12.4 years were recruited for this cross-sectional study at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University in China. The study collected clinical and demographic data and included assessments of anxiety, depression, and psychotic symptoms using the 14-item Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17), and the positive subscales of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), respectively. Measurements of metabolic parameters, fasting blood glucose (FBG), and thyroid hormones were also gathered. To assess the correlation between the TyG index and the likelihood of psychotic symptoms, the study used multivariable binary logistic regression analysis. Additionally, two-segmented linear regression models were employed to investigate possible threshold effects in case non-linearity relationships were identified. Results Among the patients, 9.95% (171 out of 1,718) exhibited psychotic symptoms. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed a positive correlation between the TyG index and the likelihood of psychotic symptoms (OR = 2.12, 95% CI: 1.21-3.74, P = 0.01) after adjusting for confounding variables. Moreover, smoothed plots revealed a nonlinear relationship with the TyG index, revealing an inflection point at 8.42. Interestingly, no significant link was observed to the left of the inflection point (OR = 0.50, 95% CI: 0.04-6.64, P = 0.60), whereas beyond this point, a positive correlation emerged between the TyG index and psychotic symptoms (OR = 2.42, 95% CI: 1.31-4.48, P = 0.01). Particularly, a considerable 142% rise in the probability of experiencing psychotic symptoms was found with each incremental elevation in the TyG index. Conclusions Understanding the non-linear link between the TyG index and the risk of psychotic symptoms in Chinese patients with FEDN MDD highlights the potential for targeted therapeutic approaches. By acknowledging the threshold effect observed, there is an opportunity to mitigate risk factors associated with IR-related psychiatric comorbidities through tailored interventions. These preliminary results stress the need for further longitudinal research to solidify these insights and contribute to more effective therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride glucose index (TyG) has previously been considered a reliable indicator of insulin resistance (IR) and an independent prognostic predictor in heart failure (HF). OBJECTIVES To clarify the association between the TyG and short-term death in non-diabetic patients admitted for acute heart failure (AHF). MATERIAL AND METHODS We examined 886 out of 1620 consecutive AHF patients who were admitted to Shunde Hospital, Southern Medical University, Foshan, China, from June 1, 2014, to June 1, 2022. The median of the patientsf TyG values was used to divide them into 2 groups. The following formula was used to calculate the TyG: ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) ~ fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. The data on all-cause mortality of AHF patients during their hospital stay were collected. The 30-day Enhanced Feedback for Effective Cardiac Treatment (EFFECT) death risk score was used to assess the risk of death. RESULTS The TyG level was positively correlated with a poor AHF prognostic marker (N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)) (Ď = 0.207, p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with a protective marker (serum albumin) (Ď = .0.43, p < 0.001). Higher TyG values were associated with an elevated EFFECT score and hospital mortality (p < 0.001). According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, higher TyG levels raised the risk of death in hospital (odds ratio (OR) = 1.73; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.03.3.27; p = 0.031) after adjusting for multiple variables, including age, EFFECT score and NT-proBNP. The TyG had a greater area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC: 0.688) for predicting hospital death compared to NT-proBNP (AUC: 0.506). CONCLUSIONS Our findings show that the TyG is associated with the short-term mortality rate of non-diabetic patients admitted to the hospital for AHF. The TyG testing could be a useful prognostic indicator for these patients.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Gastric cancer, one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide, is affected by insulin resistance. The triglyceride glucose (TYG) index is considered a surrogate indicator of insulin resistance; however, its prognostic value in patients with gastric cancer remains obscure. This study aimed to determine whether the TYG index could predict the long-term prognosis of patients with gastric cancer after radical resection gastrectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed patients with gastric cancer who underwent radical resection gastrectomy. The preoperative TYG index was calculated using the patients' laboratory data. Patients were divided into two groups based on a high or low TYG index. We observed overall survival and evaluated the clinical application value of the index using Cox proportional hazards regression to calculate independent parameters. A prediction model was also established. RESULTS In total, 822 patients with gastric cancer were included. The high and low TYG index groups comprised 353 and 469 patients, respectively. The overall survival time was significantly longer in the high-index group than in the low-index group. In the multivariate analysis, TYG index, preoperative age, surgical procedure, tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage, N stage, and postoperative complications (all p < 0.01) were considered independent prognostic predictors. Based on the multivariate analysis, the riglyceride glucose (TYG) index hazard ratio was 0.70 (95% confidence interval, 0.54-0.89, p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS We established a model with a high clinical application value and clinical practice relevance to predict the prognosis of gastric cancer. In this model, TYG was an independent protective factor for gastric cancer prognosis.

Abstract
Background Patients with heart failure (HF) were compared with non-HF people to explore the relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and HF in participants with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Methods TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to investigate the association between the TyG index and the risk of HF. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was applied to evaluate the dose-response relationship between the TyG index and the risk of HF. Results National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2007-2018) was used to analyze the association between TyG and HF in patients. A total of 13,825 participants who had their TyG index measured were included, involving 435 individuals with HF and 13,390 individuals without HF. Those with HF had higher levels of the TyG index compared with those without HF (8.91 ± 0.74 vs. 8.57 ± 0.66, p < 0.001). The odds ratio (OR) of HF for the TyG index from logistic regression was 1.644 and 1.057 in Model 1 (without adjusting for any variables) and Model 4 (adjusted for all covariates), respectively. Compared with individuals with Q1, a higher TyG index was related to the increased risk of HF. Model 1 showed that there was a linear dose-response relationship between the TyG index and HF (p = 0.686). The TyG index predicted the area of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 0.602 (95% CI: 0.575-0.629, p < 0.001) and the optimal cutoff value was 8.91. Conclusion The TyG index was positively associated with the risk of HF. The TyG index may be a therapeutic target and an important predictor of HF.

Abstract
Background Recently, the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has emerged as a reliable predictive indicator for adverse outcomes of cardiovascular disease. However, the roles of the TyG index in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)≤1.8 mmol/L after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain unclear. Methods A total of 599 patients diagnosed with AMI and LDL-C ≤ 1.8 mmol/L at the 1-month follow-up after PCI were consecutively enrolled between January 2017 and January 2020. The patients were subsequently divided into three groups based on tertiles of the TyG index. The parameters, including the TyG index, were compared to explore the risk factors associated with major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) during the 1-year follow-up. Results Sixty-nine patients (11.5%) with 90 MACCEs were recorded during the 1-year follow up, including 13 patients (8.6%) in the Tertile 1 group, 36 (12.0%) in the Tertile 2 group, and 20 (13.4%) in the Tertile 3 group. Patients with a higher TyG index had a significantly increased incidence of MACCEs compared to those with a lower TyG index (22.1% vs. 14.0% vs. 9.9%, p=0.010). Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that patients with a higher TyG index had a significantly lower probability of survival without MACCEs. Furthermore, a binary logistic regression model indicated that the TyG index was the only independent predictor for MACCEs in these patients. Conclusion A higher TyG index was associated with a higher incidence of MACCEs in patients with AMI and well-controlled LDL-C levels after PCI. This suggests that the TyG index can serve as a predictive indicator for adverse cardiovascular outcomes in these patients.

Abstract
Context Older adults with sarcopenic obesity are at high risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, few East Asians have sarcopenic obesity. Since many East Asians have insulin resistance (IR) without obesity, it is possible that older East Asians with sarcopenia and IR might be at high risk for T2DM. However, this relationship has not been studied. Methods This cross-sectional study included 1629 older adults aged 65 to 84 years registered in the Bunkyo Health Study. All underwent a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test and handgrip strength measurement. Participants were classified into 4 groups by possible sarcopenia (handgrip strength <28 kg in men and <18 kg in women) and IR status (triglyceride glucose [TyG] index ≥8.79 for men and ≥8.62 for women [third quartile]). Modified Poisson regression was used to estimate relative risk (RR) and 95% CIs for T2DM with adjustment for confounding factors. Results The mean age was 73.1 ± 5.4 years. T2DM was diagnosed in 212 (13.0%) participants. After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, use of lipid-lowering medications, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, possible sarcopenia and IR were associated with T2DM, with their coexistence showing a notably stronger association (control: RR, 1.00 [Reference]; possible sarcopenia: RR, 1.55 [95% CI, 1.04-2.30]; IR: RR, 2.69 [95% CI, 1.99-3.65]; and IR possible sarcopenia: RR, 4.76 [95% CI, 3.34-6.79]). Conclusion Possible sarcopenia based on low handgrip strength and IR based on the TyG index are independently associated with T2DM in older Japanese individuals. Their coexistence shows a particularly strong association with T2DM.

Abstract
Background There is insufficient attention to hypogonadism in Chinese males with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We evaluated the relationship between Combined obesity- and lipid-related indices [Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI), Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI), Triglyceride Glucose Index (TyG) and Lipid Accumulation Product (LAP)] with total testosterone (TT) and analyzed the predictive capability of the respective cut-off values. Methods We recruited 958 hospitalized male patients with T2DM at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, collected baseline data and four calculated indices, and obtained their dominance ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) with TT by multivariate logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were then used to determine cutoff values in predicting hypogonadism (TT< 12 nmol/L), and we also analyzed the combinations between the different indices. Results VAI, CVAI, TyG, and LAP all have satisfactory predictive capabilities. The test capability (sensitivity and specificity) of all four indices was better or not worse than that of body mass index (BMI), homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and waist circumference (WC). All four indices were effective predictors of hypogonadism at their respective cutoff values (VAI ≥ 2.284, CVAI ≥ 145.779, TyG ≥ 4.308, and LAP ≥ 59.850). Of these, LAP had the largest area under the curve (AUC, AUC = 0.852, Std. Error = 0.014, 95% CI = 0.818-0.873). However, the predictive capability of the combined indices was not significantly improved over the individual indices. Conclusions VAI, CVAI, TyG, and LAP are sensitive indices for predicting hypogonadism in Chinese male patients with T2DM. Considering the need for concise and accurate indices in clinical practice, we suggest LAP as a commonly used index.

Abstract
Background Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is an effective indicator in indentifying in pre-diabetes, diabetes, and coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the value of TyG index combined with thyroid hormones (THs) to affect CAD has not been fully evaluated. Here, we investigated the association between TyG index and THs and further studied the impacts of TyG index and THs on CAD in euthyroid. Methods Subjects (1,297) with euthyroid who underwent selective coronary angiography (CAG) were enrolled in the present study, including 893 patients with CAD and 404 controls. The association between TyG index and THs were analyzed by linear regression models. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the interaction of TyG and THs with the risk of CAD. According to the cutoff value of free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and TyG index, the patients were respectively separated into four groups: low TyG/FT3 (low or high), high TyG/FT3 (low or high), low TyG/FT4 (low or high), high TyG/FT4 (low or high), low TyG/TSH (low or high), high TyG/TSH (low or high). Results The baseline analysis showed that FT4 level differs among the three groups according to the tertile of the TyG index. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed decreased serum FT3 level and serum FT4 level as an independent risk factor for elevated TyG index. After adjusting for confounding variables, multiple logistic regression analysis showed that patients with lower TyG index and higher FT3 level had an important protective effect on CAD when considering patients with lower TyG index and FT3 level as reference(OR = 0.536, 95% CI: 0.369-0.778, P = 0.001). Patients with higher TyG index and FT4 level (lower or higher) had a significantly increased risk of CAD (OR 1.656, 95% CI: 1.117-2.455; OR = 1.920, 95% CI: 1.279-2.848, respectively). The area under the curve for the combined diagnosis of CAD by TyG index and FT3 level is 0.615. Conclusions These findings suggest that TyG is independently negatively correlated with FT3 or FT4 in euthyroid. In addition, there was a significant interaction between TyG index and THs on the risk of CAD.

Abstract
The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is an accessible and reliable surrogate indicator of insulin resistance and is strongly associated with diabetes. However, its relationship with diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains controversial. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the relationship between the TyG index and the prevalence of DR. Initial studies were searched from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) electronic databases. The retrieval time range was from the establishment of the database to June 2023. Pooled estimates were derived using a random-effects model and reported as odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Two researchers independently assessed the methodological quality of the included studies. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Scale (NOS) was utilized to assess cohort studies or case-control studies. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) methodology checklist was applied to assess cross-sectional studies. Ten observational studies encompassing 13716 patients with type 2 diabetes were included in the meta-analysis. The results showed that a higher TyG index increased the risk of DR compared with a low TyG index (OR: 2.34, 95% CI: 1.31-4.19, P < 0.05). When the index was analyzed as a continuous variable, consistent results were observed (OR: 1.48, 95% CI: 1.12-1.97, P < 0.005). There was no significant effect on the results of the sensitivity analyses excluding one study at a time (P all < 0.05). A higher TyG index may be associated with an increased prevalence of DR in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, high-quality cohort or case-control studies are needed to further substantiate this evidence. Systematic review registration https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42023432747.

Abstract
Purpose The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index serves as an indicator of insulin resistance (IR), which is also associated with bone metabolism. However, research on the relationship between the TyG index and a fragility fracture in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or osteoporosis (OP) remains sparse. This study aims to explore the association between the TyG index and fragility fracture risk in postmenopausal elderly females with T2DM combined with OP based on an ambispective cohort study. Patients and Methods A total of 220 postmenopausal women hospitalized with T2DM combined with OP between January 2015 and December 2020 were eligible for inclusion in this study. All participants were followed up every 6 months for 6 years with a median of 42 months. According to the tertiles of the TyG index, participants were divided into three groups: low-level (≤ 8.79, n =73), moderate-level (8.80-9.32, n=73), and high-level (≥ 9.33, n=74). The association between the TyG index and fragility fracture risk was then assessed. Results Out of 220 patients, 46 experienced fragility fracture events (20.9%). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the TyG index was positively associated with a fragility fracture in postmenopausal women with T2DM combined with OP. Furthermore, compared to the low-level group, with the TyG index level increase by 1.0, the risk for fragility fracture increased 1.293-fold in the high-level group (HR=2.293, 95% CI=1.007-5.221, P < 0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that fragility fractures were more likely to occur in patients with high levels of TyG index (log-rank, all P < 0.05). Conclusion Our study showed that the TyG index was strongly associated with a fragility fracture in postmenopausal women with T2DM combined with OP. Therefore, special attention should be paid to postmenopausal elderly females with T2DM combined with OP in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Especially in recent years, temporal muscle thickness has been used as an important parameter for sarcopenia in neurological disorders. In addition, triglyceride glucose index was evaluated separately in studies conducted in terms of coronary diseases, diabetes, high blood pressure, body mass index and acute stroke. In this clinical study, unlike the others, both temporal muscle thickness and triglyceride glucose index were evaluated together in acute stroke patients in terms of sarcopenia. We aimed to investigate the relationship between temporal muscle thickness and triglyceride glucose index, which is atherosclerotic index, with mortality and 3rd month functional outcomes in acute stroke patients. In this retrospective study, 147 patients admitted to Ankara City Hospital with the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke between January 2021 and September 2022 were evaluated. Fasting triglyceride glucose indexes of the patients were calculated. The temporal muscle thickness measurement of the patients was performed by the radiologist using computed tomography images. Those who scored 3 or higher on the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at the third month were considered to have poor functional outcome. A significant cutoff point was found for estimating mortality for the temporal muscle thickness parameter [area under the curve for a receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) = 0.636; P = .012]. The cutoff point was obtained as ≤ 5.2. Sensitivity value was 65%, specificity value was 65%, the positive predictive value (PPV) value was 42.62% and the negative predictive value (NPV) value was 82.28%. Similarly, for the triglyceride glucose index parameter, there was a significant cutoff point in estimating mortality (AUC = 0.673; P = .003). The cutoff point was obtained as ≥ 8.23. Sensitivity value was 91.18%, specificity value was 13%, PPV value was 26.96% and NPV value was 81%. Temporal muscle thickness and triglyceride glucose index parameters were found to be statistically important parameters of sarcopenia. It was concluded that the evaluation of these 2 parameters in terms of both mortality and sarcopenia in acute stroke patients is important in the evaluation of neurological and cardiac disorders.

Abstract
Background Recent studies have reported better predictive performance of triglyceride glucose (TyG) index for cardiovascular events in women, however, whether this association persists in postmenopausal women is inconclusive. We investigated the association between TyG index and H-type hypertension (HHT) in postmenopausal women. Methods 1,301 eligible women with hypertension were included in this cross-sectional study. Concomitant homocysteine levels >10 μmol/L were defined as H-type hypertension. The TyG index was calculated as ln [triglycerides (mg/dl) × fasting glucose (mg/dl)/2]. Multivariable logistic regression models and restricted cubic spline models were used to assess the association between TyG index and H-type hypertension in postmenopausal women, and subgroup analyses were performed for potential confounders. Results Of the 1,301 hypertensive patients, 634 (48.7%) participants had H-type hypertension. In each adjusted model, TyG index was significantly associated with the risk of H-type hypertension. each 1-unit increase in TyG index was associated with an increased risk of H-type hypertension in all participants (OR = 1.6; 95% CI, 1.3-2.0; P < 0.001), and there was a linear relationship between TyG index and H-type hypertension (P for linear trend < 0.001). Conclusion TyG index is positively associated with H-type hypertension in postmenopausal women, suggesting that TyG index may be a promising marker for H-type hypertension. By controlling lipid levels and blood glucose levels, it may help prevent H-type hypertension in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate oral infections in patients suffering in-stent restenosis (ISR) and non-ISR and analyze the possible correlation between the oral infection and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a clinical surrogate indicator of insulin resistance (IR). MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional design was used, in which 586 patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent coronary angiography 6-24 months after coronary stent implantation were recruited. The modified total dental index (TDI) was used to evaluate the status of oral inflammation. RESULTS In both univariate analyses, TDI scores [3 (1.5, 4.5) vs. 2.5 (1.5, 4.0), p < 0.01] and a multivariate regression model (OR = 1.202, 95% CI = 1.085-1.333, p < 0.01), the TDI significantly correlated with ISR. The TyG index was positively associated with ISR (OR = 1.766, 95% CI = 1.055-2.957, p < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that TDI was positively correlated with TyG index (r = 0.190, p < 0.01). Using linear regression analysis, higher TDI scores were significantly associated with IR (95% CI = 0.029-0.063, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Oral infections and TyG index were independently and positively correlated with ISR in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Oral inflammatory burden assessed by TDI score was associated with IR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scant West African data on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) means there is little representation of this population in the modelling used to derive biomarkers and predictive indices for risk stratification of patients for the presence of hepatic steatosis. This study evaluates the performance of the fatty liver index (FLI), hepatic steatosis index (HSI) and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and its derivatives in predicting ultrasound detected NAFLD in a locally resident population of Ghanaian participants. METHODS AND FINDINGS A post hoc analysis of data from a cross sectional assessment of NAFLD and cardiovascular risk was performed. Data from 210 participants without significant alcohol intake, or secondary causes of fatty liver and not on steatogenic drugs was evaluated. A structured questionnaire had been used to collect demographic data, medical and drug history. Anthropometry, blood sampling for liver chemistry and fasting lipids were performed. Hepatic steatosis was detected by ultrasonography. A retrospective analysis involving multivariate binary logistic regression assessed FLI, HIS, TyG (and its derivatives) as predictors of NAFLD with p < .05 considered statistically significant. Sensitivity, specificity, predictive values, likelihood ratios were calculated and accuracy of the proxies evaluated from area under the receiver operating characteristics curve (AUROC). All the biomarkers and indices were significantly associated with NAFLD (p ≤ .001). All the lipid and fatty liver indices assessed performed acceptably as predictors of NAFLD. FLI (AUC = 0.8, 95% CI [0.74-0.87]), TyG-WC (AUC = 0.81, 95% CI [0.75-0.88]) and TyG-WHtR (AUC = 0.81, 95% CI [0.74-0.88]) performed best at predicting NAFLD. Whilst in all cases the markers had good specificity (>90%) they lacked sufficient sensitivity with FLI having the highest sensitivity of 36.7%. Their overall accuracy was greater than 70% in each case. CONCLUSION The overall accuracy of HSI, FLI, TyG index and its derivatives (TyG WHtR, TyG BMI, TyG WC) was acceptable for predicting NAFLD in this population. Given their performance in this study and in light of their low cost, accessibility, easy interpretation and non-invasive nature; they are suitable tools for screening in the Ghanaian population.

Abstract
Introduction Kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) have an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) events (CVEs) compared with the general population. The impact of insulin resistance on CV risk after transplantation is not well defined. Methods We tested whether triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a surrogate marker of insulin resistance, may predict posttransplant CVEs in a cohort of 715 consecutive KTRs all included 1 year after transplant. Results Follow-up was 9.1 ± 4.6 years. Mean TyG at inclusion was 4.75 ± 0.29 (median, 4.73 [4.14-5.84]). In multiple regression analysis, having a TyG above the median value was associated with higher body mass index (BMI), low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol level, and greater urinary protein excretion. A total of 127 CVEs (17.7%) occurred during the study period. In univariate analysis, TyG was strongly associated with CVE occurrence (hazard ratio [HR] 2.06, 95% CI 1.42-3.50, for each increase of 0.1 in TyG, P < 0.001). The best predictive value was 4.87 (HR 6.32, 95% CI 3.30-12.11, P < 0.001). The risk of CVE gradually increased with higher TyG index (quartile 2, HR 1.71, 95% CI 0.84-5.20, P = 0.139; quartile 3, HR 3.12, 95% CI 1.61-6.02, P < 0.001; quartile 4, HR 7.46, 95% CI 4.03-13.80, P < 0.001, vs. quartile 1). TyG remained associated with CVE in multivariate analysis (HR 2.11, 95% CI 1.22-3.68, for each increase of 0.1 in TyG, P < 0.001). Conclusion Insulin resistance, as measured by the TyG index is strongly associated with CVE in KTRs. Improving insulin sensitivity seems to be a major issue to prevent CV morbidity and mortality in this high-risk population.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of depression is unclear, and it responds poorly to treatment. It is thus urgent to identify the pathogenesis of depression and possible therapeutic targets. There may be interactions between insulin resistance (IR) and depression. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between depression, triglyceride glucose (TyG) index. The study participants were 198 middle-aged and elderly patients who were admitted to the Hebei General Hospital between January 1, 2021, and August 31, 2022, together with 189 healthy adults as controls. Depression was diagnosed according to ICD-10 diagnostic criteria for depression. IR was assessed by the TyG index. Compared with the control group, patients suffering from depression had higher TyG index (P = .00); There were significant differences in the sex ratio (P = .00), family history (P = .00), body mass index (P = .008), total cholesterol (P = .00), fasting blood glucose (P = .004), high-density lipoprotein (P = .00), and low-density lipoprotein (P = .001) levels between the 2 groups. After excluding other confounding factors, the TyG index was found to be independently associated with depression, with an OR of 2.75. These data support an association of depression with the TyG index. IR thus appears to be a risk factor for depression.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent metabolic disorder characterized by glucose intolerance during pregnancy. The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a marker of insulin resistance, and coronary flow reserve (CFR), a measure of coronary microvascular function, are emerging as potential indicators of cardiovascular risk. This study aims to investigate the association between CFR and the TyG index in GDM patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study of 87 GDM patients and 36 healthy controls was conducted. The participants underwent clinical assessments, blood tests, and echocardiographic evaluations. The TyG index was calculated as ln(triglycerides × fasting glucose/2). CFR was measured using Doppler echocardiography during rest and hyperemia induced by dipyridamole. Results: The study included 87 individuals in the GDM group and 36 individuals in the control group. There was no significant difference in age between the two groups (34.1 ± 5.3 years for GDM vs. 33.1 ± 4.9 years for the control, p = 0.364). The TyG index was significantly higher in the GDM group compared to the controls (p < 0.001). CFR was lower in the GDM group (p < 0.001). A negative correlation between the TyG index and CFR was observed (r = -0.624, p < 0.001). Linear regression revealed the TyG index as an independent predictor of reduced CFR. Conclusions: The study findings reveal a significant association between the TyG index and CFR in GDM patients, suggesting their potential role in assessing cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
Background Several easily and inexpensively measured indicators of visceral adiposity dysfunction are currently available, but it remains unclear whether they are correlated with stroke risk in the community-dwelling population. We aimed to examine the longitudinal association of the triglyceridemic-waist phenotypes, the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, as well as TyG-related indicators with stroke risk. Methods In this study, we conducted a prospective cohort study in Hunan, a region located in Central China, where the prevalence of stroke is relatively high. We included a total of 20185 subjects aged ≥40 years between November 2017 and December 2018. Triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and triglyceride glucose-waist circumference (TyG-WC) were calculated as multiplying TyG index by BMI and WC, respectively. Triglyceride waist phenotypes were categorized into four phenotypes: HTGW (elevated triglyceride and enlarged WC), NTNW (normal triglyceride and normal WC); HTNW (high triglyceride and normal WC), and NTGW (normal triglyceride and enlarged WC). We constructed a multivariable Cox regression model to assess the association between these novel lipid indicators and the risk of stroke. Subgroup analysis was conducted to test the robustness of our research findings. ROC curve was used for assessing the predictive ability of different stroke risk indices. Results After 2 years of follow- up, 135 participants experienced new stroke events. After adjusting for potential confounders, we found that participants with HTGW had higher likelihood of stroke (HR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.21 to 3.16). However, we did not find significant associations for HTNW (HR: 1.42, 95% CI: 0.91 to 2.21) and NTGW (HR: 1.09, 95% CI 0.67 to 1.78). when compared to participants in the first TyG quartile, those in the fourth TyG quartile were associated with a 2.06-fold (95% CI: 1.22, 3.50) risk of stroke. Each 1-SD increase in TyG, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC was associated with a higher risk of stroke, with adjusted HRs of 1.34 (95% CI: 1.11 to 1.61), 1.35 (95% CI: 1.14 to 1.59), and 1.23 (95% CI: 1.04 to 1.46), respectively. In subgroup analyses, those positive relationships appeared to be stronger among male participants with lower levels of physical activity and smoking. Conclusion HTGW, along with higher levels of TyG and TyG-related indicators, were found to be associated with an elevated risk of stroke. HTGW and these novel lipid indicators might be reliable indicators to identify populations at elevated risk of stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TG) index, a marker of insulin resistance, and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) severity in patients without diabetes mellitus, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 1,527 patients. We used univariate and multivariate analyses to identify the independent predictors associated with OSA. RESULTS Most patients were males (81.5%) with a mean age of 43.9 ± 11.1 (15-90) years. Based on the apnoea-hypopnea index (AHI), 353 (23.1%) patients were included in the control group, whereas 32.4%, 23.5%, and 21% had mild, moderate, and severe OSA, respectively. The TG index values demonstrated significant associations with OSA patients compared with the control group (p = 0.001). In addition, the mean values of the oxygen desaturation index (ODI), AHI, minimum oxygen saturation, and total sleep time percentage with saturation below 90% demonstrated statistically significant differences among the TG index groups (p: 0.001; p:0.001; p:0.001; p:0.003). The optimal TG index cutoff value to predict OSA was 8.615 (AUC = 0.638, 95% CI = 0.606-0.671, p = 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, after adjusting for age, sex, and body mass index, the TG index was independently associated with OSA patients. CONCLUSION The TG index is independently associated with increased risk for OSA. This indicates that this index, a marker for disease severity, can be used to identify severe OSA patients on waiting lists for PSG.

Abstract
Elevated triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The current study aimed to investigate whether the TyG index was correlated with renal function decline in patients with hypertension. Han Chinese participants with essential hypertension were included. The TyG index was calculated as ln[fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) * fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. Renal function decline was defined as >25% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). The Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to examine the independent effect of the TyG index on renal events. In total, 548 Han Chinese hypertensive participants with a mean age of 62.1 ± 14.3 years were eligible for enrollment. During a mean follow-up period of 4.7 ± 3.1 years, 97 patients suffered from >25% decline in eGFR. When compared to those without eGFR decline, patients with eGFR decline had higher fasting triglyceride levels (P = .056), fasting glucose levels (P = .014), and TyG indexes (P = .014). The Cox proportional hazard regression model revealed that the TyG index (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.490; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.016-2.185, P = .041), office systolic blood pressure (HR = 1.013; 95% CI = 1.000-1.026, P = .047), diabetes mellitus (HR = 1.797, 95% CI = 1.026-3.147, P = .040), and baseline eGFR (HR = 1.015; 95% CI = 1.002-1.028, P = .025) were associated with renal events. In conclusions, an elevated TyG index is independently associated with an increased risk of eGFR decline in hypertensive patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare but potentially life-threatening pathology and cases are especially seen in women under 50 years of age and with relatively fewer cardiovascular risk factors. Although risk factors facilitating the development of SCAD have been defined in the literature, modifiable risk factors remain unclear. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the relationship between the triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and the development of SCAD in the population of young women. METHODS The results of 281 patients were analyzed and compared with each other in terms of clinical, demographic, laboratory parameters, and coronary angiography results. RESULTS The mean age was 45 years and all of them were female. When the groups were compared, the TyG and inflammatory parameters were higher in the SCAD group (p < 0.001). When these two groups with low cardiovascular risk factors were compared in logistic regression analysis, high TyG was found to be an independent predictor of SCAD development in young women (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION As a result, our study shows that the development of these non-atherosclerotic conditions can be predicted by simple biochemical tests in young women with low atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
Objective Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been suggested as an alternative indicator of insulin resistance (IR); however, the association between TyG index and suicide attempts (SA) in major depressive disorder (MDD) is unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between TyG index and SA in Chinese patients with first-episode drug-naïve (FEDN) MDD. Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled 1,718 patients with FEDN MDD aged 34.9 ± 12.4 years from the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University (Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, China) from September 2016 to December 2018. Multivariable binary logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the association between TyG index and the risk of SA. A two-piecewise linear regression model was used to investigate the threshold effects if non-linearity associations existed. Interaction and stratified analyses were performed based on sex, education, marital status, comorbid anxiety, and psychotic symptoms. Results Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that TyG index was positively associated with the risk of SA after adjusting for confounders (OR = 1.35, 95% CI: 1.04-1.75, p = 0.03). Smoothing plots also showed a nonlinear relationship between TyG index and SA, with the inflection point of TyG index being 9.29. On the right of the inflection point, a positive association between TyG index and SA was detected (OR = 3.47, 95% CI: 1.81 to 6.66, p < 0.001), while no significant association was observed on the left side of the inflection point (OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 0.79 to 1.66, p = 0.476). Conclusion The relationship between TyG index and SA risk was non-linear and exhibited a threshold effect in Chinese patients with FEDN MDD. When TyG index was greater than 9.29, they showed a significant positive correlation.

Abstract
Objective Thyroid hormones (THs) exert instrumental effects in regulating lipids metabolism. Whereas, research investigating the relationship between sensitivity indices to THs and metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) have contradicted this. This study was designed to approach the correlation between sensitivity indices to THs and MAFLD in euthyroid subjects. Methods An overall sample of 6356 euthyroid participants were enrolled in a Chinese hospital. Free triiodothyronine to free thyroxine ratio (FT3/FT4), thyrotropin triiodothyronine resistance index (TT3RI), thyrotropin thyroxine resistance index (TT4RI), thyroid stimulating hormone index (TSHI) and thyroid feedback quantile-based indices (TFQIFT3 and TFQIFT4) were collected as sensitivity indicators to THs. Participants were split into two groups based on whether they suffered with MAFLD or not. And participants were categorized into quartiles based on sensitivity indicators to THs. The effects of sensitivity indices to THs on MAFLD were analyzed using regression analysis. Bootstrap was performed to assess the mediation effect of triglyceride glucose (TyG) index on the relationship between sensitivity parameters to THs and MAFLD. Results The incidence of MAFLD in euthyroid subjects was 34.47%. As FT3/FT4, TT3RI and TFQIFT3 levels rose, so did the MAFLD prevalence. After adjustment for confounders, logistic regression analyses indicated that the high-level FT3/FT4 and TFQIFT3 still remained risk factors for MAFLD. The relevance of FT3/FT4 and MAFLD was stronger among those whose age ≤ 40 years and had non-visceral obesity. And the interrelation between TFQIFT3 and MAFLD was stronger in subjects whose age ≤ 40 years. Mediation analyses suggested that TyG index had a noteworthy indirect impact on the relationship between FT3/FT4, TFQIFT3 and MAFLD. Conclusion Increased FT3/FT4 and TFQIFT3 were significantly related to MAFLD prevalence in populations with normal thyroid function. TyG index partly mediated the relevance between FT3/FT4, TFQIFT3 and MAFLD.

Abstract
Background Cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a major complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Hyperglycaemia and hypertriglyceridemia are known risk factors in the development of CAN with T2DM. The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is calculated using both the fasting blood glucose (FBG) and fasting triglyceride levels (FTG). There is a paucity of literature revealing a direct relationship between the TyG index and CAN in T2DM patients of the south Indian population. Objective To assess the TyG index levels in T2DM with and without CAN. Methods A cross-sectional study was performed, involving 100 T2DM patients (58 males and 42 females) aged between 30 and 60 years, who attended medicine OPD, Sri Venkateswaraa Medical College, Hospital and Research Centre (SVMCH & RC) during the study period. Age, duration of illness, height, weight, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and lipid profile values were taken from patients' recent medical records. Ewing autonomic function tests were used to diagnose CAN, which included heart rate response to standing, heart rate response to deep breathing, heart rate response to Valsalva maneuver, blood pressure response to standing and blood pressure response to isometric handgrip. FBG and FTG were measured and the TyG index was calculated from these parameters. Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) (IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 20.0, Armonk, NY) was used for the statistical analysis and a 'P' value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results In our study, out of 100 T2DM patients, 42 patients were diagnosed with CAN. The mean levels of TyG Index, HbA1C, FBG, FTG, BMI and WC were significantly (p<0.05) higher in T2DM patients with CAN when compared to T2DM without CAN. We couldn't find any significant difference (p<0.05) in age, duration of illness, blood pressure and lipid profile parameters between the groups. Conclusion We found that abdominal obesity, hyperglycemia, and hypertriglyceridemia are the risk factors for developing CAN in T2DM patients. Our study results also showed that the TyG index can be used to predict CAN in T2DM patients.

Abstract
Background The triglyceride glucose index (TyG index) has been regarded as a reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance and an independent predictor of diabetes. However, few studies have reported the association between the TyG index and diabetes in the elderly population. Accordingly, this study aimed to investigate the association between the TyG index and diabetes progression in elderly Chinese. Methods Baseline medical history, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glucose levels during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) after 1-hour (1h-PG) and 2-hour (2h-PG), and triglyceride (TG) were obtained from a cohort of 862 elderly (aged ≥ 60 years) Chinese in the Beijing urban area between 1998 and 1999. A follow-up visit was conducted between 1998 and 2019 to assess incident diabetes. TyG index was calculated by the following formula ln[TG (mg/dL) × FPG (mg(dL)/2]. The predictive values of TyG index, lipids, and glucose levels during OGTT were assessed alone and also in a clinical prediction model comprising traditional risk factors using concordance index (C-index). Areas under the receiver operating characteristics curves (AUC) and 95% CIs were calculated. Results After 20 years of follow-up, there were 544 cases of incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (63.1% of incidence). The multivariable HRs (95% CI) for TyG index, FPG, 1h-PG and 2h-PG, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c), and TG were 1.525 (1.290-1.804), 1.350 (1.181-1.544), 1.337 (1.282-1.395), 1.401 (1.327-1.480), 0.505 (0.375-0.681), and 1.120 (1.053-1.192), respectively. The corresponding C-index were 0.623, 0.617, 0.704, 0.694, 0.631, and 0.610, respectively. The AUC (95% CI) for the TyG index, FPG, 1h-PG, 2h-PG, HDL-c, and TG were 0.608 (0.569-0.647), 0.587 (0.548-0.625), 0.766 (0.734-0.797), 0.713 (0.679-0.747), 0.397 (0.358-0.435), and 0.588 (0.549-0.628). The AUC of the TyG index was higher than that of TG but did not differ with FPG and HDL-c. In addition, the AUCs of 1h-PG and 2h-PG were higher than that of the TyG index. Conclusions Elevated TyG index is independently correlated with an increased risk of incident diabetes in the elderly male population, but it is not superior to OGTT 1h-PG and 2h-PG in predicting the risk of diabetes.

Abstract
Objective Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) were used to assess the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and hearing impairment (HI). Methods We used eight survey cycles from NHANES 2001-2012 and 2015-2018 to conduct this cross-sectional study. HI was designed as an dependent variable, and the TyG index was selected as an exposure factor (independent variable). The correlation between the two variables was assessed using multiple logistic regression. In order to assess whether there was a non-linear relationship between the TyG index and HI, the TyG index was distributed and a test for trend was conducted (P for trend), followed by smooth curve fitting (penalized spline) and generalized additive model (GAM) regression. We also performed a subgroup analysis to identify sensitive groups whose responses were clearly associated with independent variables. Results 10,906 participants were finally included in the study, and those with a higher TyG index had a higher frequency of hearing impairment. There was a linear positive correlation between the TyG index and HI. For the low-frequency HI, however, this positive correlation was not statistically significant (OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.98, 1.14); however, it was more stable for the high-frequency HI (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.22). Additionally, as the TyG index increased, this positive association increased as well (P for trend = 0.05). The HPTA test showed a positive association with more severe HI (simultaneous) as the independent variable increased (OR = 1.14, 95% CI: 1.05-1.24), and this association was even more significant with increasing severity (P for trend 0.05). According to the subgroup analysis, the positive association between TyG index and high-frequency HI was more significant in females, 40-69 years old, without hypertension or diabetes, and when strict high-frequency HI was significant in males, females, 40-69 years old, with hypertension and diabetes. Conclusion Participants with a higher TyG index may have a higher risk of HI. TyG index and HI risk showed a linear relationship, which became even more significant when HPTA was included.

Abstract
Background Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has increasingly been shown to be related to extragastric diseases. Glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), an indicator of glycemic control, is closely linked to the event of diabetes. The purpose of this research was to analyze the association between H. pylori and HbA1c through a cohort study. Methods The population who underwent multiple physical checkups in the physical examination center of Taizhou Hospital was included. All of them underwent urea breath test, serological examination and physical parameter measurement. Multiple regression was used for analyzing the influencing factors of HbA1c. In addition, the result of HbA1c on H. pylori infection was studied by restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index represents the level of insulin resistance (IR) in the population. The population was classified on the basis of primary and last H. pylori infection, therefore, the variations of HbA1c and TyG index among totally different teams were investigated. Results Multiple regression demonstrated that H. pylori was an influential factor in HbA1c. RCS analysis showed a nonlinear relationship between HbA1c and H. pylori infection. When HbA1c>5.7%, the chance of H. pylori infection was considerably enlarged. Additionally, long-term H. pylori infection increased HbA1c levels, while HbA1c levels decreased after H. pylori eradication. Similarly, long-term H. pylori infection also increased the TyG index. Conclusion Prediabetes increases the danger of H. pylori infection, long-term H. pylori infection increases HbA1c and IR levels, and wipeout of H. pylori could have a positive impact for glycemic control in the population.

Abstract
Background Insulin resistance (IR) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are closely related. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) has been proposed as a new indicator of IR. It remains unclear whether the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is prospectively associated with incident nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods This large-scale study comprised 1 prospective cohort totaling 22,758 subjects without NAFLD at baseline who underwent repeated health examinations and 1 subcohort totaling 7,722 subjects with more than three visits. The TyG index was ascertained mathematically by ln (fasting triglycerides [mg/dL] × fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2). NAFLD was diagnosed by ultrasound without other concomitant liver diseases. A combinatorial Cox proportional hazard model and latent class growth mixture modeling method were used to identify the association of the TyG index and its transition trajectories with NAFLD risk. Results During 53,481 person-years of follow-up, there were 5319 incident cases with NAFLD. Compared with those in the lowest quartile of the baseline TyG index, participants in the highest quartile had 2.52-fold (95% confidence interval, 2.21-2.86) higher odds of incident NAFLD. Similarly, restricted cubic spline analysis showed a dose-response relationship (p nonlinearity<0.001). Subgroup analyses showed a more significant association in the female and normal body size populations (p for interaction<0.001). Three distinct trajectories of changes in the TyG index were identified. Compared with the continued low group, the moderately increasing and highly increasing groups conferred 1.91-fold (1.65-2.21) and 2.19-fold (1.73-2.77) higher NAFLD risk, respectively. Conclusions Participants with a higher baseline TyG index or a higher excessive TyG exposure were associated with an increased NAFLD risk. The findings imply that lifestyle interventions and modulation of IR might be considered to both reduce TyG index levels and prevent NAFLD development.

Abstract
We conducted a longitudinal study (from February 2017 to July 2017) to explore whether the triglyceride glucose index (TyG) index has a prognostic value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among high-risk Chinese hypertensives. The study population were from 6 districts of Tianjin, China. Finally, a total of 2250 patients were enrolled in this 3.5 year cohort study. The patients were divided into two groups according to the cut-off value of the TyG index: Low-TyG group (n = 901, TyG ≤ 8.87), High-TyG group (n = 1349, TyG > 8.87). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to estimate the relationship between the TyG and MACE. In multivariate cox regression analyses, the hazard ratio (HR) (95% confidence interval (CI)) of the high-TyG group was 1.313 (1.010, 1.708) compared with the low-TyG group. In those with an age ≤65 years and male subgroups, the prediction value of TyG was higher, and the risk of occurrence of MACE greater after adjusting other risk factors. The TyG index is an indicator to predict the development of MACE in hypertensive patients.

Abstract
Objective To examine the association of triglyceride glucose (TyG) index (product of fasting triglyceride and glucose) with prevalence and incidence of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in type 2 diabetes. Methods 1339 patients from an ongoing Singapore Study of Macro-angiopathy and Micro-Vascular Reactivity in Type 2 Diabetes (SMART2D) were included in this study. Fasting triglyceride and glucose levels were quantified and color fundus photographs were assessed for DR presence and severity. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations of TyG index with DR prevalence and incidence (median follow-up period = 3.2 years). Results Mean TyG index was higher in patients with DR than no DR (9.24±0.7 versus 9.04± 0.6, p<0.001). TyG index was significantly associated with DR prevalence (OR=1.4, CI 1.1-1.7, p=0.002) and incidence (OR=1.8, CI 1.04-2.9, p=0.03), after adjusting for confounders. In a stratified analysis, the association between TyG index and DR prevalence reached significance only in the subgroup with HbA1c levels < 7.0% (OR=2, CI 1.1-3.8, p=0.03). TyG index significantly predicted DR prevalence and incidence with area under receiver operating curve as 0.77 (CI 0.74-0.80, p <0.001) and 0.66 (CI 0.57-0.76, p value <0.01), respectively. Conclusion TyG index is a good predictor for DR prevalence and incidence. It can also be a secondary treatment target for patients with optimally controlled levels of HbA1c.

Abstract
Background and Aims This study aimed to determine whether convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9)-associated cardiovascular risk is modulated by triglyceride-glucose (TyG) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with primary percutaneous coronary disease (PCI). Methods A total of 1541 patients with STEMI (aged ≥18 years) undergoing primary PCI were consecutively enrolled between March 2017 and March 2019. Outcomes When stratifying the overall population according to TyG indices less than or greater than the median (TyG median = 9.07) as well as according to quartiles of PCSK9 levels, higher TyG index levels were significantly associated with all-cause mortality only when TyG levels were 9.07 or higher (ie, relative to quartile 1 [Q1], the adjusted HR for all-cause mortality was 3.20 [95% CI, 0.54-18.80] for Q2, p = 0.199; 7.89 [95% CI, 1.56-40.89] for Q3, p = 0.013; and 5.61 [95% CI, 1.04-30.30] for Q4, p = 0.045. During a median follow-up period of 1.96 years, the HR for all-cause mortality was higher in the subset of patients with TyG ≥median and PCSK9 ≥median (p for trend = 0.023) among those with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, there were no statistically significant differences among the subgroups. Among T2DM patients with a TyG index greater than the median, the Kaplan-Meier curve showed that patients with the highest PCSK9 levels had an increased risk of all-cause mortality (log-rank p = 0.017) and cardiac-cause mortality (log-rank p = 0.037) compared with lower PCSK9 quartile levels. Conclusion Elevated PCSK9 levels are related to all-cause mortality and cardiac-related mortality when TyG levels are greater than the median, but not when levels are less than the median. This suggests a potential benefit of lowering circulating PCSK9 levels in STEMI patients with insulin resistance.

Abstract
Objective Our purpose was to explore the relationship between triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and the risk of new-onset hypertension in Chinese individuals aged ≥45 years. Methods From 2011 to 2018, data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS) were analyzed. The relationship between TyG index and hypertension was assessed utilizing Cox regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) plot, and the importance of the TyG index in hypertension development was demonstrated by a random forest machine learning model. Finally, subgroup analysis was conducted to test for potential interactions on hypertension development between the TyG index and subgroups. Results 19.7% of the 4755 individuals who were involved in this survey developed hypertension over an average follow-up period of 5.22 years. Compared with the first quartile of albumin, the multivariate HR (95% CI) for the risk of new-onset hypertension across the TyG index quartiles was 1.09 (0.89, 1.33), 1.09 (0.89, 1.33), and 1.29 (1.06, 1.58), respectively (P for trend <0.001). The RCS plot revealed a linear relationship (P for nonlinear = 0.322), and the random forest machine learning model illustrated that the TyG index was a significant hazard factor on hypertension development. There was no interaction between subgroups and the relationships of the TyG index with the prevalence of hypertension (all P-value >0.05). Conclusion TyG index was an independent hazard indicator for new-onset hypertension, and routine measurement and control of TyG index level might be great for preventing hypertension development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance (IR) is a normal feature of pregnancy and plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of hypertensive disorder of pregnancy (HDP). The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) has been shown as a simple and reliable alternative IR marker. This work aimed to investigate the association between the TyG index and the incidence of HDP and adverse pregnancy outcomes. METHODS From January 2016 to December 2018, 289 women with HDP and 861 women without HDP were recruited at Shanghai Fifth People's Hospital, Fudan University to determine the relationship between the TyG index and the incidence of HDP and adverse pregnancy outcomes. RESULTS In the case-control study, the incidence of HDP was found to be significantly associated with the TyG index. Moreover, logistic regression indicated that the TyG index is an independent risk factor for HDP development and incidence of low birth weight (LBW) and fetal distress. In the cohort study, the results showed that the TyG index increased, there was a stepwise increase in HDP incidence, SBP, and DBP levels one week before delivery as well as in LBW and fetal distress incidence. The early trimester TyG index was positively associated with pre-pregnancy BMI, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) one week before delivery. Spline regression showed that there was a significant linear association between HDP incidence and early trimester TyG index when it was >8.5. CONCLUSIONS This work suggested that the early trimester TyG index was closely associated with the development of HDP and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance is a phenomenon in which the lowering blood glucose capacity of insulin is decreased, which is a feature of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Some previous studies have found an association between insulin resistance and migraine. The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is used to assess insulin resistance. However, there is no report on the association between the TyG index and migraine. OBJECTIVE We present a cross-sectional study from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to clarify the association between the TyG index and migraine. METHODS Data was acquired from the NHANES. Migraine was diagnosed based on patient selfreport and prescription medication. Data were analyzed using the weighted linear regression model, weighted chi-square test, logistic regression models, smooth curve fittings, and the twopiecewise linear regression model. Empower software was used for all data analysis. RESULTS A total of 18704 participants were enrolled in this study, of which 209 were migraineurs. The rest were set as control. There was a statistically significant difference in mean age (p = 0.0222), gender (p < 0.0001), distribution of race (P < 0.0001), and drug usage between the two groups. However, there were no differences in type 2 diabetes mellitus, type 1 diabetes mellitus, total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, and TyG index between the two groups. According to logistic regression models, there was a linear relationship between TyG index and migraine in model 3 (odds ratio (OR = 0.54, p = 0.0165). particularly in female (OR= 0.51, p = 0.0202) or Mexican American (OR= 0.18, p = 0.0203). Moreover, there was no inflection point between the TyG index and migraine. CONCLUSION In conclusion, there was a linear relationship between the TyG index and migraine. A higher TyG index predicts a lower incidence of migraine, particularly in females and Mexican Americans. Meanwhile, there is no inflection point between the TyG index and migraine.

Abstract
Objective: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a simple and reliable surrogate for insulin resistance. Recent studies have suggested that the TyG index is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. However, the prognostic value of the TyG index in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains uncertain. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of the TyG index in patients with AMI. Methods: AMI patients admitted to Zhongda Hospital from 2018 to 2020 were successively enrolled. After screening the inclusion criteria, 1144 patients were divided into three groups according to the tertiles of the TyG index distribution. Patients were followed up for 1 year as outpatients or contacted via telephone, and the occurrence and timing of all-cause deaths were recorded. Results: The TyG index was significantly correlated with heart failure (HF) in AMI patients. Patients with a high TyG index (group 3) (odds ratio: 9.070, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.359-18.875, P<.001) had a significantly higher incidence of HF compared with patients with median TyG index (group 2). Similarly, the incidence of all-cause death in group 3 was significantly higher than that in group 2 during the 1-year follow-up (hazard ratio: 2.996, 95% CI 1.058-8.487, P = .039). Conclusion: The TyG index is closely related to HF and may be a valuable indicator to predict the long-term prognosis of patients with AMI.

Abstract
Aims Previous studies suggested a significant relationship between four surrogate indexes of insulin resistance and subsequent type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). But the association of longitudinal changes (denoted as -D) in CVAI (Chinese visceral adiposity index), LAP (lipid accumulation product), TyG (triglyceride-glucose), and TG/HDL-C (triglyceride/ high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) indexes with the risk of T2DM remained uncertain. We aimed to compare the changes in those four surrogate indexes for predicting T2DM in middle-aged and elderly Chinese. Methods We extracted data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Multivariate logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) of incident T2DM with four surrogate indexes. The restricted cubic spline analysis was used to examine potential non-linear correlation and visualize the dose-response relationship between four indexes and T2DM. The receiver operator characteristic curve was used to compare the performance of the four indexes to predict T2DM. Results We enrolled 4,596 participants in total, including 504 (10.97%) with T2DM. Analysis results showed that four surrogate indexes were associated with T2DM, and the multivariate-adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of T2DM were 1.08 (1.00-1.16), 1.47 (1.32-1.63), 1.12 (1.00-1.25), and 2.45 (2.12-2.83) for each IQR (interquartile range) increment in CVAI-D, LAP-D, TG/HDLC-D, and TyG-D, respectively. Restricted cubic spline regression showed a non-linear correlation between four surrogate indexes and the risk of T2DM (p for non-linear < 0.001). From the ROC (receiver operating characteristic) curve, TyG-D had the highest AUC (area under curve), and its AUC values were significantly different from other three indexes both in male and female (all P < 0.001). Conclusion Compared with other indexes, TyG-D was a better predictor in the clinical setting for identifying middle-aged and elderly Chinese with T2DM. Monitoring long-term changes in TyG might help in the early identification of individuals at high risk of T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Colorectal neoplasms (CRN) include colorectal cancer (CRC) and colorectal adenoma (CRA). The relationship between CRN and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index or between CRN and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is unclear. This study aims to investigate the roles of TyG index and AIP in predicting CRN in people without cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS 2409 patients without CVD underwent colonoscopy were enrolled. Clinical information and relevant laboratory test results of these patients were collected and recorded. According to endoscopic and pathological results, all participants were divided into a neoplasms group and a non-neoplasms group. The TyG index was calculated as ln (TGs×FPG/2), while AIP was calculated as log (TGs/HDL-C). We used uni- and multivariate logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) to analyze the association between the TyG inedx, AIP and CRN, develop predictive models and construct the nomograms. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were utilized to evaluate the predictive value for CRN. RESULTS Participants in the neoplasms group were more likely to be older, have higher TyG index, higher AIP and higher rates of fecal occult blood test positivity, and were more likely to be male, smokers and those with the family history of CRC (P < 0.05). The higher TyG index was related to the higher risk of CRN [OR (95% CI): 1.23 (1.08 - 1.41), P = 0.003]. The higher AIP was related to the higher risk of CRN [OR (95% CI): 1.55 (1.16 - 2.06), P = 0.003]. These two indicators are better for predicting CRN in women than men. The combined use of the TyG index and other independent risk factors (age, sex, smoking status, family history and FOBT) to distinguish CRN was effective, with a sensitivity of 61.0%, a specificity of 65.1% and an AUC of 0.669 (95%CI, 0.639 - 0.698). Likewise, the combined use of the AIP and other independent risk factors to distinguish CRN was also effective, the model had an overall 56.3% sensitivity and 68.7% specificity with an AUC of 0.667 (95%CI, 0.638 - 0.697). CONCLUSION This study showed that the TyG index and the AIP might be biomarkers that could be used to predict the risk of CRN in patients without CVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is closely associated with subclinical atherosclerosis. However, the association remains inconclusive among obese and nonobese individuals. METHODS This prospective study was conducted in 5751 adults with normal carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) at baseline. We divided the population into four groups based on the TyG index, which was calculated by the following formula: Ln (fasting triglycerides [mg/dL] × fasting glucose [mg/dL]/2). Information on CIMT was acquired by ultrasonography. Incident elevated CIMT was defined as IMT values greater than 0.9 mm at follow-up. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the associations between TyG index and elevated CIMT were estimated using multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 4.3 years, 722 (12.6%) individuals had progressed to elevated CIMT. Compared with the second quartile of the TyG index, the first and fourth quartile both conferred higher risks of elevated CIMT after adjusting for potential confounders. In the total population, the ORs for the first and fourth quartile were 1.29 (95% CI, 1.00-1.66) and 1.42 (95% CI, 1.11-1.83), respectively. Restricted cubic splines demonstrated an approximately U-shaped association between TyG index and elevated CIMT among the total and nonobese adults (P for nonlinearity <.05), but not in those with general or abdominal obesity. CONCLUSIONS A U-shaped association was observed between TyG index and elevated CIMT only among nonobese Chinese adults.

Abstract
Background: The triglyceride−glucose (TyG) index is a simple, novel and reliable surrogate marker of insulin resistance. However, evidence for the prognostic impact of an elevated TyG index on IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is limited. Therefore, we evaluated the relationship between the TyG index and the risk of renal progression in IgAN. Method: This cohort study involved biopsy-proven IgAN between January 2009 and December 2018 in West China Hospital, in which patients were assigned to two groups based on the cut-off value of TyG using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. A 1:1 matched-pair analysis was established to optimize the bias in IgAN by propensity score matching (PSM). The TyG index was calculated as ln [fasting triglyceride (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2]. The composite endpoint was defined by eGFR decreased ≥50% of the baseline level, end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), renal transplantation and/or death. Univariable and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were applied to confirm the predictive value of the optimal marker. Results: Before PSM, a total of 1210 participants were ultimately included. During a median follow-up period of 55.8 months (range 37.20−79.09 months), 129 participants progressed to the composite endpoint (10.7%). After PSM, 366 patients were enrolled in the matched cohort, of whom 34 (9.3%) patients reached the endpoints. Based on the cut-off value of the TyG index, patients were divided into the low TyG index group (TyG ≤ 8.72, n = 690) and the high TyG index group (TyG > 8.72, n = 520). Further analysis demonstrated that a higher TyG index was significantly associated with a higher risk of reaching composite endpoints in IgAN patients in both the unmatched and matched cohorts (before PSM: HR 2.509, 95% CI 1.396−4.511, p = 0.002; after PSM: HR 2.654, 95% CI 1.299−5.423, p = 0.007). Conclusion: A high TyG index is associated with a higher risk of renal progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Triglyceride glucose index (TyG index) is a novel marker of insulin resistance. Studies have shown that TyG index is closely associated with the occurrence of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about the correlation between TyG index and the occurrence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in hypertensive patients. HYPOTHESIS Our study assumes that TyG index strongly correlates with occurence of HFpEF in hypertensive patients. METHODS This research enrolled 559 hypertensive patients (273 patients with HFpEF and 286 without HFpEF) admitted to the Department of Cardiology of Jiading Branch of Shanghai General Hospital from 2020 to 2021 as the study subjects. Gender, age, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and heart rate (HR) were recorded at admission. Medication history and fasting blood samples were harvested after admission to detect laboratory index. Cardiac function and ventricular structure index were measured by echocardiography. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to identify the correlation of TyG index with cardiac function and ventricular structure. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of TyG index in HFpEF with hypertension. RESULTS HFpEF patients had higher diuretic use frequencies, fasting plasma glucose, NT-proBNP, triglycerides, TyG index, left atrial diameter (LAD), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), the ratio of peak E-velocity of mitral orifice to peak velocity of early diastolic mitral annulus (E/e'), and SBP but lower ratio of peak E of early diastolic maximum blood flow velocity to peak A of late diastolic maximum blood flow velocity of mitral orifice (E/A) and average e' than non-HFpEF patients. Moreover, TyG index was correlated with LAD, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), LVMI, average e', E/e', and NT-proBNP. The multivariate regression analysis suggested that TyG index, E/e', and NT-proBNP were independent risk factors for HFpEF in hypertensive patients. Compared with E/e' and NT-proBNP, the area under the ROC curve (0.778 [95% confidence interval: 0.707-0.849]) was the largest for TyG index. CONCLUSION TyG index is higher in HFpEF patients than in non-HFpEF patients and related to cardiac diastolic function, which strongly correlates with occurrence of HFpEF in hypertensive patients.

Abstract
This study aims to investigate the relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and peripheral artery disease (PAD). A total of 3125 participants with completed TyG and ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) records were enrolled from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycle of 1999-2004. The TyG index was calculated as ln [triglycerides (mg/dL) × glucose (mg/dL)/2], and the presence of PAD was defined as ABPI ≤.9. The participants were 59.9 ± 12.9 years old and 51.5% (1608) were male. The prevalence of PAD was 7.2% (225). Compared with the reference lowest quartile of TyG index, the highest quartile was associated with 1.27-fold increased (odds ratio [OR] 2.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.53-3.41; P < .001) risk of PAD. After adjusting for sociodemographic, lifestyles, and cardiometabolic factors, the multivariate-adjusted OR and 95% CI were 1.74 (1.02-3.01; P = .044) in participants within the highest quartile. Subgroup analysis showed that the association between TyG index and the risk of PAD was still consistent across subgroups. In conclusion, higher TyG index was significantly associated with the higher risk of PAD, which could be a marker of PAD.

Abstract
This study investigated whether the triglyceride (TG) glucose (TyG) index at diagnosis could predict acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). The medical records of 152 AAV were reviewed. Clinical and laboratory data were collected. The TyG index was calculated by TyG index = Ln (fasting TG (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2). The cut-offs of Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) and the TyG were obtained by the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve and the highest tertile (9.011). The mean age was 57.2 years and 32.9% were male. AAV patients with a TyG index ≥ 9.011 exhibited a lower cumulative ACS-free survival rate than those with a TyG index < 9.011. However, a TyG index ≥ 9.011 was not independently associated with ACS in the multivariable Cox analysis. Meanwhile, there might be a close relationship for predicting ACS among the TyG index, metabolic syndrome (MetS), and BVAS. AAV patients with a TyG index ≥ 9.011 exhibited a higher risk for MetS than those with a TyG index < 9.011 (relative risk 2.833). AAV patients with BVAS ≥ 11.5 also exhibited a higher risk for ACS than those with BVAS < 11.5 (relative risk 10.225). Both AAV patients with MetS and those with BVAS ≥11.5 exhibited lower cumulative ACS-free survival rates than those without. The TyG index at AAV diagnosis could estimate the concurrent presence of MetS and predict the occurrence of ACS during follow-up along with high BVAS at diagnosis in patients with AAV.

Abstract
The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and triglyceride/high lipoprotein density cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) are two important risk markers to evaluate the insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). To assess the association between TG/HDL-C and TyG index and CVDs. The Mashhad stroke and heart association disorder cohort study started in 2010 and has been continued until 2020. During 6-year follow-up of 9704 participants, 235 events including 118 acute coronary syndrome (ACS), 83 chronic coronary syndrome, 27 myocardial infarction, and 27 cardiac death were confirmed. SPSS software (version 21) was used for statistical analysis and figures were drawn by GraphPad Prism 6 software. The prevalence of ACS and cardiac death were higher in the fourth quartile of serum TG/HDL-C (>4.43) and higher prevalence of ACS was considered in subjects classified in the fourth quartile of TyG index (>8.98). A high TyG index was associated with an increased risk of ACS and cardiac death [1.362 (95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.013-1.831]) and 2.3 (95% CI: [1.247-4.241])] respectively; based on Cox regression analysis elevated TyG and TG/HDL-C increased the chance of CVD by [1.634 (95% CI: 1.304-2.047) and 1.068 (95% CI: 1.031-1.105)], respectively. Our results strongly showed that TyG index and TG/HDL-C are independent risk factors for incident CVD, suggesting that TyG index and TG/HDL-C may be as an important unique biomarker for predicting CVD outcomes and progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index reflects insulin resistance; the latter being associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical value of the TyG index to identify MCI in patients living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) using a cross-sectional study. METHODS This cross-sectional study was performed on 517 patients with T2D. The diagnosis of MCI was based on criteria established by the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer's Association workgroup, and patients were divided into the MCI group and the normal cognitive function (NCF) group. The logistic regression analysis determines whether the TyG index is related to MCI. Subsequently, we constructed the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and calculated the area under the curve (AUC). The nomogram model of the influence factor was established and verified. RESULTS Compared to the type 2 diabetes-normal cognitive function (T2D-NCF) group, the MCI subjects were olderand had higher TyG indexes, lower cognitive scores, and lower education levels (p < 0.01). After adjusting for the confounders, the TyG index was associated with MCI (OR = 7.37, 95% CI = 4.72-11.50, p < 0.01), and TyG-BMI was also associated with MCI (OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 1.01-1.02, p<0.01). The TyG index AUC was 0.79 (95% CI = 0.76-0.83). The consistency index of the nomogram was 0. 83[95% CI (0. 79, 0. 86)]. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that the TyG index and TyG-BMI are associated with MCI in T2D patients, and the TyG index is an excellent indicator of the risk of MCI in T2D patients. The nomogram incorporating the TyG index is useful to predict MCI risk in patients with T2D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Serum β2-microglobulin (β2-MG) and serum cystatin C (CysC) are sensitive and reliable indicators of early renal impairment. Triglyceride glucose index (TyG) is an emerging vital indicator of insulin resistance and is associated with increased risk of hypertension. We aimed to analyze the relationship between TyG and early renal impairment in hypertensive patients. METHODS A retrospective analysis was performed on 881 hypertensive patients treated in Qinghai Provincial People, s Hospital from March 2018 to March 2021, their clinical data and corresponding laboratory index values were recorded, and the TyG index was calculated. According to the TyG index, the patients were divided into a low TyG (L-TyG) group (TyG ≤ 8.50, n=306), medium TyG (M-TyG) group (8.51≤TyG ≤ 8.94, n=281), and high TyG (H-TyG) group (TyG>8.95, n=294) in sequence by using tertiles. Then, according to serum β2-MG and CysC levels, they were divided into a normal renal function group (β2-MG ≤ 2.4 mg/L, n=700 and CysC ≤ 1.25mg/L, n=721) and a renal function injury group (β2-MG>2.4 mg/L, n=181, and CysC>1.25 mg/L, n=160). Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of serum β2-microglobulin and cystatin C. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between the TyG index and early renal impairment in hypertensive patients. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to determine the value of the TyG index in predicting early renal impairment in patients with hypertension. RESULT As the TyG index level increased, serum β2-MG and CysC levels also gradually increased. Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that TyG index was the influencing factor of serum β2-MG (B=0.060, P=0.007) and serum CysC (B=0.096, P<0.001). For every 1 standard deviation increase in the TyG index, the serum β2-MG and CysC increased by 0.06mg/L and 0.096mg/L, respectively. When compared to the normal group, the TyG level (8.91 ± 0.65 vs 8.64 ± 0.60, P<0.001) was higher in the renal impairment group with β2-MG>2.4 mg/L. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that for every 1 standard deviation increase in the TyG index, the risk of early renal impairment in hypertensive patients increased 1.53 times (OR=1.53, 95%CI 1.006-2.303).The ROC curves showed that the TyG index was not superior to TG in predicting early renal impairment in hypertensive patients. the AUC values were 0.623 and 0.617, respectively. Then, when CysC>1.25 mg/L was used as the renal damage group, the level of TyG was still higher than that in the normal group (8.94 ± 0.67 and 8.64 ± 0.60, P<0.001). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that for every 1 standard deviation increase in the TyG index, the risk of early renal impairment in hypertensive patients increased 2.82 times (OR=2.82, 95%CI 1.863-4.262). The ROC curves showed that the TyG index was not superior to TG in predicting early renal impairment in hypertensive patients. the AUC values were 0.629 and 0.626, respectively. CONCLUSION TyG index is an influential factor in serum β2-MG and CysC levels. The elevated TyG index levels are closely associated with the occurrence and development of early renal impairment in hypertensive patients, but it should be used cautiously in the prediction of early renal impairment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The involvement of osteocalcin in the regulation of glucose tolerance in humans is controversial. We utilized a novel and practical insulin resistance surrogate, the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, to investigate the association between serum osteocalcin and insulin resistance in men with type 2 diabetes (T2D). METHODS This was a retrospective cross-sectional study that included 667 male patients suffering from T2D, with measurements of N-terminal mid-fragment of osteocalcin (N-MID), triglycerides (TG), fasting blood glucose (FBG) and C-peptide collected on the same day. We used the TyG index and HOMA-IR as surrogate measures for insulin resistance. Binary logistic regression models that adjust the sociodemographic characteristics and metabolism-related factors were used to assess the associations between osteocalcin and insulin resistance. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was used to test the potential non-linear relationship between N-MID and the risk of severe insulin resistance. Subgroup analysis evaluated the robustness of the association. RESULTS N-MID was correlated with the level of insulin resistance when quantified by the TyG index in unadjusted and adjusted binary logistic regression models (all p < 0.05), but the relationship was not observed when assessed by HOMA-IR (all p > 0.05). RCS model further confirmed that the association between N-MID and the severe insulin resistance measured by the TyG index was non-linear (P = 0.047). Subgroup analysis showed that the association was detected only in younger patients with lower BMI and poorer glycemic control, without hypertension or smoking. CONCLUSIONS Osteocalcin was inversely associated with the TyG index in men with T2D.
