Research progress of triglyceride glucose-body mass index

Insulin resistance (IR) is one of the important factors affecting cardiovascular diseases and various metabolic diseases. It is very important to identify IR before the disease occurs. Triglyceride glucose-body mass (TyG-BMI) index is a new economic and effective index for evaluating IR. In recent years, the role of TyG-BMI in the evaluation of atherosclerosis, prehypertension, prediabetes, hyperuricemia, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and other common clinical diseases has been confirmed to some extent, and it has become a new research direction. However, there are still few studies on TyG-BMI at home and abroad, and the specific mechanism remains unclear and needs further exploration. This paper reviewed the research progress of TyG-BMI and its relationship with common diseases, in order to provide positive guidance for the early prevention.
