This study aimed to explore the association between the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index and coronary artery disease (CAD) in postmenopausal women. This study enrolled 869 postmenopausal women and classified them into two groups: CAD group (n = 538) and control group (n = 331). The TyG index was significantly higher in patients with CAD than in controls ( P 60 years), diabetes, ischemic stroke, systolic blood pressure (≥140), and ejection fraction (50 years subgroup ( P < 0.05). The TyG index may be a valuable clinical predictor of CAD risk in postmenopausal women.
