Association between triglyceride-glucose index and cataract among outpatient US adults
Our research reveals that the highest quartile array of TyG index (Quartile IV) is associated with a higher risk of cataract among men. This suggests that elevated levels of this index may contribute to the likelihood of developing cataracts, emphasizing the need to consider this metabolic parameter when assessing eye health in male participants.
