TyG (triglyceride and glucose) index using triglyceride and fasting blood glucose is recommended as a useful marker for insulin resistance. The present study evaluated the usefulness of TyG index in diagnosing metabolic syndrome and suggested an optimal cut-off value. The subjects of this study were adult 4,415 adults aged 20 to 80 years who underwent health screening at J General Hospital from January 2016 to January 2017. Metabolic syndrome was based on AHA/NHLBI (American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) criteria. TyG index correlated with metabolic syndrome risk factors including HOMA-IR. Compared with the participants in the lowest quartile of TyG index, odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for metabolic syndrome were 8.5 (3.005~23.903), 20.0 (17.190~23.407) for those in the third, and the fourth quartile of TyG index. The optimal cut-off value of the metabolic syndrome was 8.81 for TyG index (sensitivity 86.7%, specificity 80.1%) and area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.894. In conclusion, TyG index is effective to identify individuals at risk for metabolic syndrome.
