Open AccessAssociation between triglyceride-glucose related indices with the all-cause and cause-specific mortality among the population with metabolic syndrome
Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been determined to play a role in the onset of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Whether the TyG index and TyG with the combination of obesity indicators are associated with the c...
