Association of insulin resistance indicators with hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in patients with metabolic syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the association of four insulin resistance (IR) indicators with hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS), as well as to compare the diagnostic value of these indicators in identifying hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in individuals with MetS.

Methods

This cross-sectional study used the data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2018. IR indicators included homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR), triglyceride/glucose (TyG) index, triglyceride glucose-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR), and metabolic score for IR (METS-IR). The main endpoints of this study were hepatic steatosis and hepatic fibrosis. Weighted univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were employed to evaluate the
