TyG-BMI as a superior predictor of MAFLD and pre-MAFLD in Chinese adults: a cross-sectional study
TyG-related indices, particularly TyG-BMI, showed superior discriminative ability for MAFLD and pre-MAFLD compared to traditional anthropometric measures in this Yangtze River Delta population, demonstrating an S-shaped dose-response relationship with MAFLD risk. These findings support TyG-BMI as a potential first-line screening tool.
