Comparison of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, and metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) associated with periodontitis in Korean adults.

Published in: Therapeutic advances in chronic disease (2022)

Higher TG/HDL-C ratio, TyG, and METS-IR indices are associated with a higher prevalence of periodontitis. The METS-IR index is a more powerful predictor of periodontitis prevalence than the TyG index and TG/HDL-C ratio.
