Abstract
Recent studies have recognized triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) as a practical surrogate
of insulin resistance. Previous studies have demonstrated that insulin resistance
contributes to ischemic stroke via multiple mechanisms. Our study aimed to investigate
the association between TyG and prevalent ischemic stroke, exploring the value of
TyG to optimize the risk stratification of ischemic stroke.
