Application value of triglyceride-glucose index and triglyceride-glucose body mass index in evaluating the degree of hepatic steatosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The elevation of TyG is considered an important factor in promoting the progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but its impact on the degree of liver steatosis remains unclear. This study aims to explore the relationship between TyG and TyG-related indices, such as triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI), with the degree of liver fat accumulation.

Methods

From January 2021 to March 2022, 1171 participants underwent health check-ups, and all underwent FibroScan transient elastography. The analysis focused on identifying the factors that contribute to the onset of NAFLD and the degree of hepatic steatosis.

Results

The predictive value of TyG-BMI (OR = 1.039, 95% CI 1.031-1.046) in triggering NAFLD development was greater than that of
