    Abstract
  •   Objective  To investigate the value of triglyceride-glucose index (TyG) and body mass index (BMI) in predicting nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).  Methods  A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 349 patients with T2DM who were treated in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from May 2020 to July 2021, and according to the presence or absence of NAFLD, they were divided into T2DM+NAFLD group with 213 patients and simple T2DM group with 136 patients. The t-test or the Mann Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. A logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association of TyG and BMI with T2DM+NAFLD, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to evaluate the prediction efficiency of TyG alone, BMI alone, and TYG combined with BMI for NAFLD in T2DM. The Kappa coefficient was used to analyze the consistency of prediction results.  Results  Compared with the simple T2DM group, the T2DM+NAFLD group had significantly higher BMI, diastolic pressure, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and TyG (all P < 0.05) and a significantly lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P < 0.05), while there were no significant differences between the two groups in systolic pressure, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, and indirect bilirubin (all P > 0.05). The logistic regression analysis showed that TyG (odds ratio [OR]=6.513, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.884-22.517, P < 0.001) and BMI (OR=1.369, 95% CI: 1.191-1.575, P < 0.001) were independent risk factors for NAFLD in T2DM. The ROC curve analysis showed that TyG had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.875 in predicting NAFLD in T2DM, with a sensitivity of 80.3%, a specificity of 80.1%, a positive predictive value of 86.36%, and a negative predictive value of 72.19% at the optimal cut-off value of 9.41; BMI had an AUC of 0.787, with a sensitivity of 78.9%, a specificity of 64.0%, a positive predictive value of 77.36%, and a negative predictive value of 64.23% at the optimal cut-off value of 24.22; TyG combined with BMI had an AUC of 0.910, a sensitivity of 81.2%, a specificity of 88.2%, a positive predictive value of 91.53%, and a negative predictive value of 75.00% in predicting NAFLD in T2DM. TyG alone, BMI alone, and TyG combined with BMI had a Kappa coefficient of 0.592, 0.416, and 0.673, respectively, in predicting NAFLD in T2DM.  Conclusion  TyG and BMI can be used to predict the onset of NAFLD in T2DM, and the combination of TyG and BMI can improve the predictive value.
