Implication

TyG index may aid early IR identification in Chinese adults; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.

Structured PICO

Which lipid ratio or adiposity indicator is the best marker for early identification of insulin resistance in Chinese adults?

P
Population
7629 Chinese adults from the China Health and Nutrition Survey 2009
I
Intervention
Lipid ratios (TC/HDL-C, non-HDL-C/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C), apoB/apoA-I, visceral adiposity index (VAI), lipid accumulation product (LAP), and the product of TG and fasting glucose (TyG)
O
Outcome
Insulin resistance (measured by HOMA-IR)surrogate

The TyG index, VAI, and TG/HDL-C ratio are superior to traditional lipid ratios and apoB/apoA-I for the early identification of insulin resistance.
