Unraveling the triglyceride-glucose index: a key predictor of liver fat content and the amplifying role of BMI: evidence from a large physical examination data
The TyG index is positively associated with liver fat content in a nonlinear manner, with BMI amplifying this effect. These results suggest that the TyG index may be a useful marker for predicting liver fat content, and managing weight could help slow the progression of MASLD.
