Why the study?
Does triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) correlate with prevalent ischemic stroke in the general population?
Does triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) correlate with prevalent ischemic stroke in the general population?
TyG-BMI is robustly correlated with prevalent ischemic stroke and may serve as a useful marker to improve risk stratification.
TyG-BMI may aid ischemic stroke risk stratification; leaves open its incremental value in prospective cohorts.
The present study found the robust correlation between TyG-BMI and ischemic stroke, independently of a host of conventional risk factors. Meanwhile, our findings also suggested the potential usefulness of TyG-BMI to improve the risk stratification of ischemic stroke.
