Association between the Triglyceride-glucose index and fragility fractures among US adults: insights from NHANES
Elevated TyG index levels were significantly correlated with the risk of fragility fractures in the general US population. These findings suggest that the TyG index may serve as a predictive marker for fragility fractures, underscoring the importance of early intervention and improved fracture risk assessment tools in clinical practice.
