Association Between TyG‐WC and Gout in American Adults: A Cross‐Sectional Study of NHANES 2003–2018

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The triglyceride‐glucose (TyG) index is widely used as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance. Indices that combine TyG with anthropometric measures may better reflect metabolic dysfunction and central adiposity. However, evidence regarding the association between TyG‐waist circumference (TyG‐WC) and gout among U.S ...
