Key Highlights

  • The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable surrogate marker for assessing mortality risk.
  • Examples of novel anthropometric indicators include body roundness index (BRI) and weight-adjusted waist index (WWI).
  • Composite indices combining TyG and obesity measures may enhance mortality risk prediction.

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

    Management

    • Implement comprehensive risk stratification using TyG-related composite indices, including specific interventions based on results.

    Monitoring & Follow-up

      Risks

        Patient & Prescribing Data

        Target interventions based on composite biomarker assessments, such as lifestyle modifications or pharmacotherapy.

        Clinical Best Practices

        • Integrate TyG index with innovative anthropometric measures for better risk assessment, including examples of individualized management plans.
