A case-control study shows the TyG index predicts microvascular injury in Behçet’s disease, indicating elevated health risks.
The TyG index is a promising biomarker for insulin resistance in Behçet's disease and may reflect cumulative inflammatory and metabolic burden that contributes to microvascular tissue injury, including in skin and ocular structures. Its use may aid in identifying patients at elevated cardiometabolic and microvascular risk, particularly those with long-standing disease.
