Using the triglyceride-glucose index and derived indexes to forecast progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes: A 3-year follow-up study
The TyG index and its derived indicators were risk factors for the pre-diabetes to diabetes outcome, and may be regarded as predictors of the outcome. The risk of conversion of pre-diabetes to diabetes increased with increases in the TyG index and its derived indicators. The TyG-BMI was better than TyG and TyG-WC in predicting the 3-year outcome for diabetes. Although these indices could aid in the initial risk stratification in primary care, their modest accuracy warrants cautious interpretation.
