Association between triglyceride-glucose index and low-density lipoprotein particle size in korean obese adults

ABSTRACT:

Background

Small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) is the lipoprotein marker among the various lipoproteins that is most strongly related to atherosclerosis. Insulin resistance (IR) can alter lipid metabolism, and sdLDL-C is characteristic of diabetic dyslipidemia. Therefore, this study sought to inspect the relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and mean low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size.

Methods

In this study, a total of 128 adults participated. The correlation coefficients between various lipoproteins and the TyG index were compared using Steiger’s Z test and the Spearman correlation. The independent link between the TyG index and mean LDL particle size was demonstrated by multiple linear regression analysis. To identify t
