Association of triglyceride-glucose related indices with mortality among individuals with MASLD combined with prediabetes or diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prognostic significance of triglyceride-glucose (TyG)-related indices in individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) combined with prediabetes or diabetes is not yet fully understood. In this study, we explored their predictive value for mortality in this specific population.

Methods

Patients with MASLD were identified from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) database. TyG and its related parameters [TyG-waist circumference (TyG-WC), TyG-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR), TyG-weight-adjusted waist index (TyG-WWI), and TyG-body mass index (TyG-BMI), ] were calculated. To examine the association between TyG-related indices and mortality risk, Cox regression models were utilized. Furthermore, we e
