This population-based cohort study suggested a causal relationship between TyG index and DM after adjusting for other confounding factors. This independent and significant association was more apparent in females and subjects younger than 65 years. Compared with the TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, TyG-WHtR, the TyG index was a more effective predictor of DM.
