- Abstract: The research on risk factors for stroke is of great significance for the early identification of high-risk groups and the improvement of prognosis. Studies have confirmed that insulin resistance （IR） is an independent risk factor for cerebrovascular diseases. Triglyceride-glucose （TyG） index has a great potential value as a simple and reliable alternative index for IR. A relatively high TyG index is associated with increases in atherosclerosis， carotid intima-media thickness， carotid plaque instability， and the incidence rate of cardiovascular diseases. A large number of evidence has proved that TyG index can predict the risk of ischemic stroke. TyG index is independently associated with the adverse clinical outcomes of ischemic stroke， which can aggravate the deterioration of the nervous system during hospitalization and cause the recurrence of ischemic stroke. Individuals with a high TyG index are more likely to develop cerebrovascular diseases， and a potential linear dose-response relationship is observed. This article systematically summarizes the evidence for the association between TyG index and stroke and discusses the value of TyG in optimizing the risk stratification of ischemic stroke.
