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.
甘油三酯-葡萄糖(TyG)指数是用于评估胰岛素抵抗的参数之一。甘油三酯和空腹血糖是用于计算TyG指数的两个低成本、常见的实验室指标。本文综述了TyG指数与胰岛素抵抗相关疾病和心血管疾病的几个方面之间的联系,以及在上述情况下,TyG指数在世界不同人群中的不同临界值分别具有的敏感性和特异性。
