Insulin resistance has been demonstrated to be involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs). This study evaluated the association between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, a novel surrogate indicator of insulin resistance, and the incidence of ASCVDs in people...
