The triglyceride glucose: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is associated with coronary artery calcification evaluated via non-gated chest CT.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a common risk factor of cardiovascular disease. Although triglyceride glucose (TYG) index and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) are both associated with CAC, no study has evaluated the correlation between the TYG/HDL-c ratio and CAC. In the present study, we investigated the relationships between CAC and the TYG index and the TYG/HDL-c ratio.

Methods

A total of 9585 participants who underwent computed tomography (CT) screening for lung cancer from 2018 to 2020 were included in this cross-sectional study. Demographic data, laboratory test data and medical history data were collected from medical records. TYG = Ln[fasting glucose (mg/dL)×fasting TG (mg/dL/2]. The triglyceride glucose-HDL-c ratio was calculated as TYG
