However, no study has investigated the association between the TyG index and endometriosis. Therefore, this study aimed to uncover an association between the TyG index and endometriosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional investigation employed the extensive dataset derived from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) (1999\u20132006). To explore the potential connection between the TyG and endometriosis, a multivariate weighted logistic regression model was established. The nonlinear relationship between the TyG index and the risk of endometriosis was explored using restricted cubic spline models (RCS). Furthermore, subgroup analyses were conducted.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ultimately, 2,508 individuals were included in this investigation. The findings unveiled a robust positive correlation between the TyG index and the susceptibility to endometriosis (OR [95% CI]: 1.52 [1.024,2.258]; P &lt; 0.05). This positive association remained consistent across diverse subgroups. Age, birthplace, and whether one ovary was removed were identified as significant risk factors. In RCS analysis, the TyG index showed a nearly linear relationship with the risk of endometriosis (P-nonlinear &gt; 0.05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec
