Article Synopsis
- Researchers evaluated the effectiveness of various insulin resistance (IR) and sensitivity (IS) measures in identifying metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and liver fibrosis in a cross-sectional study involving 644 individuals aged 25-75.
- The study found that 49.7% of participants had MAFLD, and 12.4% had significant liver fibrosis, with TyG-WC, TyG-BMI, and TyG-WHtR emerging as the top indicators for MAFLD detection.
- Additionally, insulin-based measures like HOMA-IR and QUICKI performed best in identifying liver fibrosis across different demographic groups, regardless of age, gender, obesity, or diabetes status.
Background: The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG), and TyG-driven parameters incorporating TyG and obesity indices have been proposed as reliable indicators of insulin resistance and its related comorbidities. This study evaluated the effectiveness of these indices in identifying hepatic steatosis in individuals with Type 2 diabetes (T2DM).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study consisting of 175 patients with T2DM (122 with and 53 without NAFLD).
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We aimed to explore predictive factors of NAFLD in T2DM and identify high risk subgroups.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including 100 individuals with T2DM and 100 without diabetes matched for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI).
Aim: To explore the association of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) area and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study comprising 100 patients with T2DM and 100 non-T2DM individuals, matched for age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Transient elastography was used to assess hepatic steatosis and liver stiffness measurements (LSM).
