Table 3 The relationship between TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, TG/HDL-c and LSM and liver stiffness (LSM ≥ 7 kpa)

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

  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. TyG = Ln[TG (mg/dL) × FPG (mg/dL)/2]
  2. TyG-BMI TyG × BMI, TyG-WC TyG × WC, TG/HDL-c ratio of TG to HDL-c
