Exploring the associations of the triglyceride‒glucose index with thyroid function in subclinical hypothyroid patients: a cross-sectional study
The findings of this study demonstrated that the TyG index can be an effective and important parameter of metabolic health and a predictor of thyroid function in subclinical hypothyroid patients. These findings underscore the importance of early identification of metabolic risk factors for thyroid dysfunction, which can contribute to improved health outcomes and reduce the long-term burden of endocrine and cardiovascular diseases at the population level. Moreover, the results of the current research cannot be generalized, as it is a cross-sectional study.
