High triglyceride-glucose index is associated with subclinical cerebral small vessel disease in a healthy population: a cross-sectional study

Table 3 Multivariable analyses between possible predictors and silent brain infarct/white matter hyperintensity volume using HOMA-IR instead of TyG index

HOMA-IR: Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance; hs-CRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; WBC: white blood cell
^*These variables were transformed into a log scale
^†This analysis used a multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted with P < 0.05 in univariate analysis (age, use of antihypertensives, use of antiplatelet agents, hs-CRP, and HOMA-IR) and sex and BMI
