Table 2 The relationship between TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, TG/HDL-c and CAP and NAFLD (CAP ≥ 248 dB/m)

From: Triglyceride glucose-waist circumference: the optimum index to screen nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in non-obese adults

Exposure

CAP (dB/m) [β(95%CI) p-value]

  1. Age, BMI, gender, ethic, education level, alcohol use, diabetes, HTN, physical activity and TC were adjusted. For the index of TyG-BMI, BMI was not adjusted
  2. TyG Ln[TG (mg/dL) × FPG (mg/dL)/2], TyG-BMI TyG × BMI, TyG-WC TyG × WC, TG/HDL-c ratio of TG to HDL-c
