Background: Insulin resistance (IR) has been linked to the development of gout. The triglyceride glycemic (TyG) index is a useful biomarker of IR, and the evidences between TyG and gout are limited. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the association between the TyG index and gout in the United States (U.S).
Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted among adults with complete TyG index and gout data in the 2007-2017 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The TyG index was calculated as fasting triglycerides (mg/dl) * fasting glucose (mg/dl)/2. Gout was assessed by self-report questionnaire (MCQ160n). Weighted chi-squared and weighted Student's t-test were used to assess group differences. Weighted multivariable logistic regression analysis, subgroup analysis, and interaction tests were used to examine the TyG index and gout association.
Results: The final participants were 11,768; 5910 (50.32%) were female, 7784 (73.26%) were 18-60 years old, 5232 (69.63%) were white, and 573 (5.12%) had gout. After adjusting for all covariates, the TyG index was positively associated with gout; each unit increase in TyG index was associated with 40% higher odds of gout (odds ratio (OR), 1.40; 95% CI: 1.82-2.66; p < 0.0001). Participants in the highest TyG index tertile group were at high risk of gout (odds ratio (OR), 1.64; 95% CI: 1.06-2.54, p = 0.03) versus those in the lowest tertile group. Interaction tests showed no significant effect of age, race, marital status, PIR level, education, BMI, smoking status, drinking status, hypertension, and DM on this association between TyG index and gout (p for interaction > 0.05).
Conclusions: In this large cross-sectional study, our results suggested that a higher TyG index was associated with an increased likelihood of gout in U.S. adults. Our findings highlight that the TyG index is a reliable biomarker of IR; management of IR among adults may prevent or alleviate the development of gout; meanwhile, the TyG index may be a simple and cost-effective method to detect gout.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the relationship between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and the risk of developing gout using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted from 2007 to 2018.
- Out of 14,924 participants, 726 were diagnosed with gout, showing a significant positive correlation between higher TyG index levels and gout risk, even after controlling for various factors.
- The findings suggest that the TyG index is linked to gout, particularly among certain subgroups like females, individuals without military service, and those without diabetes, indicating the need for further research on this association.

Background: Gout prediction is essential for the development of individualized prevention and treatment plans. Our objective was to develop an efficient and interpretable machine learning (ML) model using the SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) to link dietary fiber and triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index to predict gout.
Methods: Using datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (2005-2018) population to study dietary fiber, the TyG index was used to predict gout.
