RESUMO

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the leading causes of chronic liver disease and is closely associated with cardiometabolic disorders, being insulin resistance (IR) the common pathogenic mechanism. The triglycerides/glucose (TyG) index and triglycerides/HDL-c (TG/HDL) ratio are markers correlated with IR. We compared the capacity of these two indexes, alongside IR, to detect NAFLD. Methods: In a cross-sectional cohort study, we examined 263 active military personnel from the Colombian Air Force, aged between 29 and 54 years. Anthropometric measurements and biochemical determinations (glycemia, lipid profile, and insulin) were obtained, and ultrasound studies were performed to evaluate the presence of NAFLD. HOMA-IR index was calculated as (fasting insulin (µIU/mL) × fasting glucose (mmol/L)/22.5), the TyG index as Ln (triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2), and the TG/HDL ratio as (triglycerides (mg/dL)/HDL-c (mg/dL)). Results: NAFLD ultrasound criteria were met in 70 individuals (26.6%). Subjects with NAFLD had significantly higher values of HOMA-IR (2.55 ± 1.36 vs. 1.51 ± 0.91), TyG (9.17 ± 0.53 vs. 8.7 ± 0.51), and TG/HDL (6.6 ± 4.54 vs. 3.52 ± 2.32) compared to those without NAFLD (p < 0.001). A TyG cutoff point of 8.92 showed an AUC of 0.731, while cutoff points of 3.83 for TG/HDL and 1.68 for HOMA-IR showed an AUC of 0.766 and 0.781, respectively. Conclusion: Our study shows that novel and lower-cost markers of IR are useful for detecting NALFD, with a performance comparable to the HOMA-IR index. These markers should be used as the first step when screening patients for NAFLD.

RESUMO

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo prospectivo con 84 infartados atendidos en el Hospital Universitario “Faustino Pérez”, de Matanzas, desde junio de 2003 a junio de 2004, con el propósito de mostrar el comportamiento del infarto agudo del miocardio en los pacientes atendidos en dicho hospital durante un año, formando así un registro de los mismos. La información se obtuvo por el método de encuesta, elaborada en el Departamento de Estadística de nuestro hospital con los listados de alta hospitalaria de los pacientes que sufrieron infarto agudo de miocardio. Se realizó necropsia al 69,2 por ciento de la muestra con una correlación clínico-patológica de 100 por ciento. El 61,9 por ciento era del sexo masculino y el promedio de edad de los infartados fue de 64,3 ± 12,5 años. El 47,6 por ciento tenía localización en la cara inferior. Se concluye que predominaron los infartados de la tercera edad y del sexo masculino. La mayoría evolucionó sin complicación, obteniéndose una mortalidad baja en la serie...
