Cardiometabolic syndrome among general adult population in Ghana: The role of lipid accumulation product, waist circumference‐triglyceride index, and triglyceride‐glucose index as surrogate indicators

Visceral obesity and insulin resistance contribute to developing cardiometabolic syndrome (MetS). We investigated the predictive abilities of lipid accumulation product (LAP), waist circumference‐triglyceride index (WTI), and triglyceride‐glucose (TyG) index for MetS screening among the general Ghanaian adults.
