Potential screening indicators for early diagnosis of NAFLD/MAFLD and liver fibrosis: Triglyceride glucose index-related parameters.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and triglyceride glucose (TyG) index-related parameters [TyG index, triglyceride glucose-waist circumference (TyG-WC), triglyceride glucose-waist-to-height ratio (TyG-WHtR), and triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI)] are gradually considered as convenient and alternative indicators for insulin resistance in various metabolic diseases, but the specific diagnostic capacity and the comparison of the parameters in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), and liver fibrosis remain uncertain.

Objective

To comprehensively assess and compare the diagnostic accuracy of the above parameters in NAFLD, MAFLD, and liver fibrosis and identify the appropriat
