Evaluation of a new TyG indicator, TyHGB, in predicting non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: evidence from two independent populations
TyHGB demonstrated robust and superior performance in predicting NAFLD in comparison with the established TyG index across two diverse populations. Since TyHGB only requires routinely measured clinical parameters, it represents a practical and equitable tool for early NAFLD risk stratification across diverse healthcare settings, potentially reducing health disparities in liver disease detection and enabling cost-effective prevention strategies at the population level.
