  •   Objective  To investigate the predictive value of triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI), serum triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C), and metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR) for fatty pancreatic disease (FPD).  Methods  A total of 240 patients with FPD treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to November 2023 were included as the case group, while 480 healthy subjects who underwent healthy checks in the same period were randomly selected as the control group. General clinical data and laboratory indicators were collected. The Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test were used to compare non-normally distributed continuous variables, and categorical variables between groups, respectively. A binary logistic regression model was used to assess the relationship between TyG-BMI, TG/HDL-C, and METS-IR and FPD. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the predictive diagnostic value of those simplified insulin resistance indicators for FPD in the general population and different sex populations.  Results  Age, BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose, uric acid, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TyG-BMI, TG/HDL-C, and METS-IR in the case group were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The case group had significantly higher proportions of individuals with hypertension, diabetes, and fatty liver disease than the control group (all P<0.05). The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was significantly lower in the case group than in the control group (P<0.05). The multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for various influencing factors, TyG-BMI, TG/HDL-C, and METS-IR remained as independent risk factors for the development of FPD, with the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) being 1.027 (1.018 ‍— ‍1.037), 6.964(2.022‍ ‍— ‍23.989), and 1.184 (1.123 ‍— ‍1.248), respectively. In the ROC curve analysis, the AUCs of METS-IR and TyG-BMI were 0.823 and 0.803, respectively, with their sensitivities being 76.3% and 75.8%, specificities being 74.6% and 71.7%, and optimal cut-off values being 34.86 and 196.70, respectively; the next were BMI (AUC=0.758) and TG/HDL-C (AUC=0.734); in the sex-stratified analysis, the AUC values of METS-IR were highest in both the male and female subgroups, which were 0.834 and 0.810, respectively.  Conclusion  TyG-BMI, TG/HDL-C, and METS-IR show good predictive value for the development of FPD, in which METS-IR is more excellent.
