Why the study?
The TyG index is associated with CVD in the general population, but its correlation with early-onset stroke among young Chinese adults was unknown.
Does a higher TyG index increase the risk of early-onset stroke in young adults?

Comparison
TyG index quartiles Q2-Q4 vs lowest quartile Q1

Multicenter cohort study

May aid stroke risk stratification in young adults; hypothesis-generating and needs prospective validation.
Does a higher TyG index increase the risk of early-onset stroke in young adults?
A higher TyG index (≥ 8.41) is significantly associated with an increased risk of early-onset ischemic stroke in young adults, suggesting its utility as a screening biomarker.
