Association of triglyceride glucose-related obesity indices with sarcopenia among U.S. adults: a cross-sectional study from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey by Runtao Zhao, Xinqiang Ji, Fan Wang

“…In the fully adjusted regression model, a positive correlation was observed between the TyG-WHtR index and sarcopenia (for each one-unit increase in TyG-WHtR index: OR = 3.57, 95% CI: 2.71–4.71, P < 0.001).
