Correlation Between Triglyceride Glucose-Body Mass Index and Cardiovascular and Metabolic Diseases
The triglyceride glucose index has been suggested as a simple and specific indicator of insulin resistance,and triglyceride glucose-body mass index(TyG-BMI)is an even stronger proxy for insulin resistance when combined with obesity.The correlation between TyG-BMI and the severity and poor prognosis of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases is increasingly receiving attention.This article describes the clinical application value and latest research progress of TyG-BMI in hypertension,coronary atherosclerotic heart disease,diabetes,hyperuricemia and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
