Association of triglyceride-glucose index and its combination with adiposity-related indices with the incidence of myocardial infarction: a cohort study from the UK Biobank.

The TyG index was linearly associated with increased risk of MI and NSTEMI, whereas TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR were nonlinearly associated with increased risk of MI and NSTEMI. There were distinct patterns in the relationships between these indicators with STEMI. TyG-WC provided the best diagnostic effectiveness for MI, STEMI, and NSTEMI.
