Why the study?
Data on the association between TyG-BMI and NAFLD in patients with T2DM are limited, and the risk prediction and predictive efficacy remain unclear.
Does the TyG-BMI index predict the presence of NAFLD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus better than BMI or TyG index alone?
Population
602 T2DM patients at an enterprise health lodge
Comparison
T2DM alone (n=250) vs T2DM with NAFLD (n=352)
Design
Retrospective analysis

May aid NAFLD screening in T2DM; extends TyG/BMI indices but leaves open prospective validation.
Does the TyG-BMI index predict the presence of NAFLD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus better than BMI or TyG index alone?
The TyG-BMI index is a strong predictor of comorbid NAFLD in patients with type 2 diabetes, offering better screening performance than BMI or TyG index alone.
