AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: The triglyceride and glucose index (TyG), as a surrogate of insulin resistance (IR), is closely associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the association between the TyG index and NAFLD in atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the association between the TyG index and NAFLD in AF.
Methods: This retrospective study was performed at Nanchang University's Second Affiliated Hospital. The AF patients who were hospitalized from January 2021 to December 2022 were enrolled. The association between the TyG index and NAFLD in AF patients was assessed by logistic regression and restricted cubic spline analysis. The ability of TyG index for identifying NAFLD was estimated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC).
Results: In this study, 632 people participated in the final analysis, with 176 (27.84%) having NAFLD. In the full adjustment model, there is an association between the TyG index and NAFLD [per 1 unit increment; odds ratios (ORs): 3.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.14, 5.03]. Compared to the lowest tertile (TyG index < 8.29), the ORs for the highest tertile (TyG index ≥ 8.82) were 4.15 (95%CI: 2.28, 7.53). Dose-response analysis showed that the TyG index and NAFLD have a nearly linear relationship (P non-linear = 0.71). The area under the curve (AUC) of the TyG index is 0.735.
Conclusions: Our findings showed a significant association between the TyG index and NAFLD. The TyG index may be a good marker for predicting NAFLD in AF patients.

Background: Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been found to be associated with female reproductive disorders, but its relationship with the risk of endometriosis is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate this relationship.
Methods: We performed a two-sample mendelian randomization(MR) analysis to examine the causal effect of TyG index on endometriosis, and inverse variance weighting(IVW) was the main method of analysis.

Department of Urology, The Third People's Hospital of Bengbu, Bengbu, Anhui, China.
Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and its related lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are commonly observed among aging males and have a substantial effect on quality of life. Metabolic syndrome, with a specific focus on obesity, is believed to play a role in the development of BPH. This study intends to explore the relationship between several obesity-related metrics, including the Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI), and LUTS/BPH within a national cohort of Chinese men.

Background And Objective: While the connection between the Triglyceride glucose-waist circumference (TyG-WC) index and the risk of diabetes remains understudied, this particular research delves into the potential predictive value of the TyG-WC index within a significant Japanese population.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study encompassed a comprehensive analysis of 15,413 Japanese adults, all of whom were diabetes-free at the outset of the study period from 2004 to 2015. Comprehensive medical records were obtained for all participants who underwent physical examinations.

Context: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a novel health indicator, has been widely employed to assess insulin resistance (IR). However, its relationship with fine particulate matter (PM) exposure remains inadequately investigated.
Objective: This study endeavors to probe the association between PM and TyG within the population of eastern China and to determine whether there are disparities in this association among diverse subgroups.
