Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is associated with incident diabetes in men: A retrospective study of Chinese individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

Dyslipidemia is commonly present in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Recently, the triglyceride : high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, a novel parameter of lipid abnormality, has been seen as an independent predictor for incident diabetes. However, the correlation of the TG/HDL-C ratio with incident diabetes in the Chinese population and how this relationship is impacted by sex have been rarely studied. In the present study, the correlation of the TG/HDL-C ratio with incident diabetes is investigated between different sexes of the Chinese population.

Materials and methods

A total of 116,855 participants who were free of diabetes at baseline were enrolled in the study. The participants were grouped by the median value (0.82) of the TG/HDL
