The triglyceride–glucose index is a promising predictor for the risk of cardiovascular disease in the diabetic population aged ≥60 years in the United States: a retrospective cohort study from NHANES (2007-2016)
In a sample of US elderly diabetic patients, there is the U-shaped association of TyG index with CVD risk. This implies that TyG index can be regarded as an extremely important predictor for screening people at high risk of cardiovascular disease among elderly diabetic patients.
