The TyG index cut-off values calculated in the present study can be used to discriminate individuals with MONW from other older individuals without obesity and to predict the risk of chronic diseases. These findings show that the TyG index is an effective and cost-efficient method of assessing the risk of chronic diseases in people with MONW.
