Table 3 Impact of TyG index on coronary plaques

From: Triglyceride glucose index is a useful marker for predicting subclinical coronary artery disease in the absence of traditional risk factors

  1. P-value of < 0.05 was considered significant
  2. BMI Body mass index, BP Blood pressure, CI Confidence interval, OR Odds ratio, TyG Triglyceride glucose
  3. Model 1: Unadjusted
  4. Model 2: Adjusted for age, male sex, systolic and diastolic BP, BMI, and the levels of LDL-C, HDL-C, and uric acid
