TyG-BMI

Triglyceride-Glucose index multiplied by BMI is one of the best models to predict NAFLD.
The TyG calculation has two different formulas. This calculation uses the TyG formula with a cut-off of around 4.

Some studies calculated TyG-BMI using an incorrect TyG formula, so I’ve recalculated TyG with the correct formula and then updated the TyG-BMI threshold accordingly.
