    Abstract: The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been suggested as a marker for insulin resistance; however, few studies have investigated the clinical implications of markers that combine obesity markers with the TyG index. This study aimed to investigate the associations between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and TyG-related markers in healthy subjects in Korea. We enrolled 21,001 asymptomatic participants who underwent hepatic ultrasonography. The homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), TyG index, TyG-body mass index, and TyG-waist circumference (WC) were subsequently analyzed. NAFLD was diagnosed using hepatic ultrasonography. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the associations between the quartiles of each parameter and the risk of NAFLD. The increase in the NAFLD risk was most evident when the TyG-WC quartiles were applied; the multivariate-adjusted odds ratios for NAFLD were 4.72 (3.65–6.10), 13.28 (10.23–17.24), and 41.57 (31.66–54.59) in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th TyG-WC quartiles, respectively, when compared with the lowest quartile. The predictability of the TyG-WC for NAFLD was better than that of the HOMA-IR using the area under the curve. The TyG-WC index was superior to the HOMA-IR for identifying NAFLD in healthy Korean adults, especially in the non-obese population.

    Abstract: Advanced liver fibrosis and coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression has been reported to correlate with cardiovascular disease. This study investigated the association between noninvasive liver fibrosis score and CAC progression in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We included 1173 asymptomatic adults with CAC scores from 2007–2013. CAC progression was defined as newly incident CAC or a ≥ 2.5-unit increase in the final CAC score square root. Liver fibrosis was assessed using fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) score and NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS). A total of 293 (25.0%) subjects developed CAC. Mean baseline FIB-4 score was significantly higher in subjects with CAC. CAC progressed in 20.5% of subjects without NAFLD, 27.5% of those with NAFLD and low FIB-4 scores, and 35.9% of those with NAFLD and intermediate/high FIB-4 scores. On multivariate logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio for CAC progression was 1.70 (95% confidence interval, 1.12–2.58) for subjects with NAFLD plus intermediate/high FIB-4 scores versus those without NAFLD. In the sensitivity analysis, the odds ratio for CAC progression was 1.57 (95% confidence interval, 1.02–2.44) for subjects with NAFLD plus an intermediate/high NFS versus those without NAFLD. Advanced liver fibrosis stage assessed using noninvasive markers is associated with a higher risk of CAC progression in subjects with NAFLD.

    Abstract: Background: The association of myosteatosis measured using visual muscular quality map in computed tomography (CT) with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), its severity, and fibrosis was analyzed in a large population.Methods: Subjects ( 〈 i 〉 n 〈 /i 〉 =13,452) with abdominal CT between 2012 and 2013 were measured total abdominal muscle area (TAMA) at L3 level. TAMA was segmented into intramuscular adipose tissue and skeletal muscle area (SMA), which was further classified into normal attenuation muscle area (NAMA) and low attenuation muscle area (LAMA). The following variables were adopted as indicators of myosteatosis: SMA/body mass index (BMI), NAMA/BMI, NAMA/TAMA, and LAMA/BMI. NAFLD and its severity were assessed by ultrasonography, and liver fibrosis was measured by calculating the NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS) and fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) scores.Results: According to multiple logistic regression analyses, as quartiles of SMA/BMI, NAMA/BMI, and NAMA/TAMA increased, the odds ratios (ORs) for NAFLD decreased in each sex ( 〈 i 〉 P 〈 /i 〉 for trend 〈 0.001 for all). The ORs of moderate/severe NAFLD were significantly higher in the Q1 group than in the Q4 group for SMA/BMI, NAMA/BMI, and NAMA/TAMA in men. The ORs of intermediate/high liver fibrosis scores assessed by NFS and FIB-4 scores increased linearly with decreasing quartiles for SMA/BMI, NAMA/BMI, and NAMA/TAMA in each sex ( 〈 i 〉 P 〈 /i 〉 for trend 〈 0.001 for all). Conversely, the risk for NAFLD and fibrosis were positively associated with LAMA/BMI quartiles in each sex ( 〈 i 〉 P 〈 /i 〉 for trend 〈 0.001 for all).Conclusion: A higher proportion of good quality muscle was associated with lower risks of NAFLD and fibrosis.

    Abstract: The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, a product of triglyceride and fasting glucose, is a reliable marker for insulin resistance. We aimed to investigate the association between the TyG-related markers and coronary artery calcification (CAC) progression. We enrolled 1145 asymptomatic participants who underwent repeated CAC score measurements during routine health examinations. Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), TyG index, TyG-BMI (body mass index), and TyG-WC (waist circumference) were calculated. Progression of CAC was defined as (1) incident CAC in a CAC-free population, or an (2) increase of ≥2.5 units between the baseline and final square root of the CAC scores in participants with detectable CAC. According to the quartiles of parameters, we stratified the subjects into four groups. The prevalence of progression increased with the TyG-WC quartile (15.0%, 24.1%, 31.0%, and 32.2% for each of the groups; p 〈 0.001). The multivariate-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for CAC score progression was 1.66 (1.01–2.77) when the highest and lowest TyG-WC index quartiles were compared. Furthermore, the predictability of TyG-WC for CAC progression was better than the other indices in terms of the area under the curve. The TyG-WC index predicted CAC progression better than other indices and could be a potential marker of future coronary atherosclerosis.

    Abstract: Background: Metabolically healthy obese (MHO) phenotype is metabolically heterogeneous in terms of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Previously, the triglyceride and glucose (TyG) index has been considered for identifying metabolic health and future risk of T2D. This study aimed to evaluate the risk of incident T2D according to obesity status and metabolic health, categorized by four different criteria and the TyG index.Methods: The study included 39,418 Koreans without T2D at baseline. The risk of T2D was evaluated based on four different definitions of metabolic health and obesity status and according to the baseline TyG index within each metabolic health and obesity group.Results: During the median follow-up at 38.1 months, 726 individuals developed T2D. Compared with the metabolically healthy non-obese (MHNO) group with low TyG index, the MHO group with high TyG index showed increased risk of T2D in all four definitions of metabolic health with multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios of 2.57 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.76 to 3.75), 3.72 (95% CI, 2.15 to 6.43), 4.13 (95% CI, 2.67 to 6.38), and 3.05 (95% CI, 2.24 to 4.15), when defined by Adult Treatment Panel III, Wildman, Karelis, and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) criteria, respectively.Conclusion: MHO subjects with high TyG index were at an increased risk of developing T2D compared with MHNO subjects, regardless of the definition of metabolic health. TyG index may serve as an additional factor for predicting the individual risk of incident T2D in MHO subjects.
