Associations between different triglyceride glucose index-related obesity indices and sarcopenia: a cross-sectional study
TyG-WWI, TyG-WHtR, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WC are significantly positively linked to the prevalence of sarcopenia and outperform the TyG index in predicting this disorder. The TyG-related obesity indices, specifically the TyG-WWI index, have potential as reliable indicators for assessing and predicting sarcopenia.
