Inspired from the triglyceride glucose index (TyG), we developed an integrated continuous index termed waist-triglyceride index (WTI) which was calculated as Ln [TG (mg/dl) WC (cm)/2].Objective: We aimed to examine the potential of WTI in screening for MetS by comparing this quantitative index with the qualitative HW phenotype and other frequently used indices.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a total of 3460 non-diabetic adults who participated in an annual health checkup. MetS was defined by the update National Cholesterol Education Program/Adult Treatment Panel ш criteria for Asian Americans. Receiving operating characteristic (ROC) curve and areas under the curve (AUC) were employed to evaluate the performance of the involved indices in screening for MetS. Statistical differences among the AUC values of the indices were compared.Results: In both genders, the AUC value of WTI, TyG or HW phenotype was markedly larger than that of each anthropometric index alone. In men, there were no statistical differences in the AUC values among WTI, TyG and HW phenotype, whereas in women, the AUC value of WTI was significantly larger than that of HW phenotype [difference between area (DBA): 0.042, 95% CI: 0.0224– 0.0617, P < 0.0001] and was nominally and significantly smaller than that of TyG (DBA: 0.00646, 95% CI: 0.000903– 0.012, P = 0.0227).Conclusion: Our results suggest that there are discriminatory performance between the WTI and HW phenotype in the detection of MetS in women rather than in men. Appropriate markers for screening MetS in population study should be considered according to the genders.Keywords: metabolic syndrome, hypertriglyceridemic, waist circumference, triglyceride glucose index, hypertriglyceridemic waist phenotypeLiu PJLou HPZhu YNDove Medical Pressarticlemetabolic syndromehypertriglyceridemicwaist circumferencetriglyceride glucose indexhypertriglyceridemic waist phenotypeSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 2899-2907 (2020)
