Insulin resistance (IR) plays an important role in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) pathogenesis. A modified triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, including TyG-body mass index (TyG-BMI) and TyG-waist circumference (TyG-WC), has been introduced to represent IR. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic abilities of IR indices in MAFLD, in which fatty liver was diagnosed using computed tomography (CT).
