Association of the non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) with COPD prevalence and all-cause mortality: a population-based study based on NHANES 2007-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) plays a potential role in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. However, its association with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is not well-defined. Here, we aim to investigate the potential association of NHHR with both the prevalence of COPD and all-cause mortality among individuals with COPD.

Methods

This population-based NHANES (2007-2016) study utilized weighted statistical analyses. Multivariable logistic regression assessed the NHHR-COPD prevalence association, with restricted cubic spline (RCS) testing for non-linearity. The association between NHHR and all-cause mortality in COPD was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier
