The TyG index showed a borderline significant column effect (F(3,102) = 2.712, p = 0.049), indicating increasing IR from early to intermediate stages, with partial attenuation in stage IV.

Even though median or mean values tended to increase from stages I to III for indices such as AIP, TG/HDL, and TyG, these trends did not reach statistical significance, likely due to a smaller sample size, wide inter-individual variability, and strong confounding by diabetes-related metabolic factors.
