The TyG Index as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance in Behçet’s disease: a case–control study

Key Points

• This research aims to evaluate the TyG index as a surrogate marker for insulin resistance in patients with Behçet's disease.
• Conducted a case-control study comparing TyG index levels in individuals with and without Behçet's disease.
• Assessed the relationship between the TyG index and indicators of microvascular injury.
• Evaluated cardiometabolic risk factors in participants.
• The TyG index was significantly higher in patients with Behçet's disease compared to the control group.
• Higher TyG index levels correlated with increased signs of microvascular injury.
• This suggests the TyG index may be useful in identifying at-risk patients.
