Associated lipid indices (TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR) showed that TyG had a highly significant p -value (<0.0001), followed by TyG-WC index ( p = 0.038).
Associated lipid indices (TyG, TyG-BMI, TyG-WC, and TyG-WHtR) showed that TyG had a highly significant p -value (<0.0001), followed by TyG-WC index ( p = 0.038).
The effect of sex (male) approached significance in the EPI model (EPI: Coefficient β = −127.11, p = 0.0624), with a negative coefficient indicating lower EPI levels in males compared to females.
T2DM: Only EPI showed a near-significant ( p = 0.072) sex difference, with higher levels in females.
In PreDM, ST shows a positive trend with BMI, approaching statistical significance ( p = 0.078).
Exploratory Correlation Analysis in PreDM Group Although no correlations passed the FDR threshold (q-value < 0.05), two pairwise associations in the PreDM group ( Table 9 ) showed marginal significance at the unadjusted p -value level (<0.05).
