Evaluation of the Association between Insulin Resistance and Subclinical Hypothyroidism Using Triglyceride-Glucose Index: a Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Thyroid disorders and diabetes mellitus are often known to co-exist, implying an interrelationship between thyroid dysfunction and insulin resistance. Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a relatively new surrogate marker of insulin resistance, which is cost-effective and easily calculated with routine lab tests. Data about association of subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and insulin resistance, especially with reference to TyG index, is lacking.
