Overview

May support TyG-BMI for IR screening in nondiabetics; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.

Structured PICO

Is Triglyceride Glucose-Body Mass Index (TyG-BMI) a useful surrogate marker for identifying insulin resistance in nondiabetic individuals?

P
Population
Nondiabetic individuals
I
Intervention
Triglyceride Glucose-Body Mass Index (TyG-BMI)
O
Outcome
Insulin resistance (IR)surrogate

TyG-BMI can serve as a simple and clinically useful surrogate marker for the early identification of insulin resistance in nondiabetic individuals.
