Relationship of insulin resistance estimated by triglyceride glucose index to arterial stiffness
Abstract Background Insulin resistance (IR) is an important risk factor for subclinical atherosclerosis. This study evaluated the relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, which is a simple and reliable surrogate marker for IR, and arterial stiffness. Methods This study included 256...
