Triglyceride-glucose index and the incidence of stroke: A meta-analysis of cohort studies

The aforementioned findings need to be verified by a large-scale prospective cohort study to further clarify the underlying pathophysiological mechanism between the TyG index and stroke.PMID:36686534 | PMC:PMC9845890 | DOI:10.3389/fneur.2022.1033385
