The Triglyceride Glucose Index: A Simple Tool To Understand And Lower Your COVID-19 Risk

✅ To make this vital information more accessible, this article includes both English and Filipino audio versions. Whether you prefer listening in English or Tagalog, you can choose the audio that best fits your needs—or share it with loved ones who may benefit from it in either language.

A convenient Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) Index calculator is also included below to help you easily check your COVID-19 risk.

🎧 Scroll down to play the audio in your chosen language and learn how to know your COVID-19 risk, improve your health, and avoid serious complications down the line.

Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) Index Calculator

Note: There are two commonly used formulas for calculating the TyG index.

• The research formula used in clinical studies like the one in this article is:
  TyG = ln [(Triglycerides × Glucose) ÷ 2]
• Some online tools (e.g., MDApp) use:
  TyG = ln(Triglycerides × Glucose) ÷ 2

While both track insulin resistance, they produce slightly different numbers. This article utilizes a research-based formula for the TyG as a predictor of COVID-19 risk, consistent with peer-reviewed data.

Try it yourself:
The TyG index is calculated using your fasting triglycerides and glucose levels. Use the tool below to apply the formula and see how your own result compares.

A TyG index of 9.03 or higher has been linked to a greater risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes, including ICU admission, need for mechanical ventilation, and death.

Use your result as a guide—but always discuss health risks and prevention strategies with your doctor.
