This study of 398 ambulatory T2DM patients found the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index an independent risk factor for diabetic retinopathy (DR). Multivariate logistic regression showed a significant association. ROC curve analysis yielded an AUC of 0.585, with a TyG cutoff of 9.115, indicating 82.4% sensitivity and 36.1% specificity. The TyG index is a valuable reference for DR risk assessment in middle-aged and elderly T2DM outpatients.
