Triglyceride-glucose index is independently associated with fatty pancreas disease in Chinese elderly
The prevalence of FPD diagnosed by abdominal ultrasound is high in the elderly aged 65 years and above in rural areas in China. TyG index has good identification of FPD but poor recognition of the severity of IPFD. TyG index, when combined with other clinical parameters, may have more diagnostic advantages.
