Association between triglyceride-glucose index and endometriosis: results from a cross-sectional study and Mendelian randomization study
Our study confirms that a higher TyG index is associated with an increased risk of endometriosis by MR analysis and cross-sectional study. These findings suggested that TyG index could serve as a biomarker in identifying individuals who may be at a higher risk for developing endometriosis. Further research is needed to explore the potential clinical implications of these findings and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms behind this observed relationship.
