Abstract

In the period of increasing prevalence of metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes, healthcare professionals are facing significant challenges. Therefore, an accurate global assessment of insulin resistance is of utmost importance. Current medical research is focused on identifying an easily accessible and reproducible gold-standard surrogate marker for insulin resistance. Ideally, such a marker would enable healthcare providers to predict the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) is a promising marker for preventive cardiology and cardiometabolic medicine. This narrative review article aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the credibility of TyG as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance among patients at different stages across the cardiometabolic continuum. This assessment fully complies with evidence-based medicine and offers valuable insight into the clinical utility of TyG.
