Joint association of triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and body roundness index with the risk of periodontitis: a cross-sectional study
Overall, the TyG-BRI index can be used as a predictor of periodontitis risk. The link was strongest in individuals under 60 years, women, and non-smokers, suggesting potential roles of age-related metabolic changes, estrogen, and smoking-induced systemic inflammation in modulating this relationship. In the future, this mechanism needs to be further verified in combination with the levels of sex hormones.
