Why the study?
Is the triglyceride glucose index (TyG-Index) better associated with carotid atherosclerosis than the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)?
Is the triglyceride glucose index (TyG-Index) better associated with carotid atherosclerosis than the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)?
The TyG-Index may serve as a superior marker for carotid atherosclerosis compared to HOMA-IR.
TyG index may aid carotid atherosclerosis assessment in observational cohorts; leaves open superiority to HOMA-IR pending prospective validation.
The present findings suggest that TyG-Index is better associated with carotid atherosclerosis than HOMA-IR.
