The Role of Triglyceride-Glucose Index in the Prediction of the Development of Hypertension - Findings from a Community Cohort in Singapore.

Objectives: Triglyceride-glucose index (TyGI) is an emerging surrogate marker of insulin resistance. We aim to explore the role of triglyceride-glucose index in the prediction of the development of hypertension.

Methodology: We conducted a retrospective cohort study that included 3,183 study participants identified from a community health screening programme who had no baseline hypertension and were then followed up after an average of 1.

Development of a metabolic syndrome severity score and its association with incident diabetes in an Asian population-results from a longitudinal cohort in Singapore.

Purpose: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a constellation of clinical factors that indicates elevated risk of diabetes. It is diagnosed based on three or more abnormalities in its components. This does not take into account that MetS can likely present as a continuum of risk.

The role of triglyceride glucose index in development of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Aims: Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) is an emerging surrogate indicator of insulin resistance. We explored the role of TyG in development of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and elucidated the mechanism for the relationship.

Methods: 4109 subjects without baseline T2DM participated in a community screening programme in 2013-2016.
