The Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) Index is a simple and reliable marker for assessing insulin resistance. It's calculated using fasting triglycerides and glucose levels.
Formula:
TyG = ln(triglycerides × glucose) / 2Clinical Significance:
- Higher values indicate greater insulin resistance
- Used to assess metabolic health and diabetes risk
- Correlates with cardiovascular disease risk
- Useful for early detection of metabolic syndrome
