Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio variability and incident diabetes: A 7-year prospective study in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

The correlation between triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio variability and incident diabetes has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to characterize the relationship between TG/HDL-C ratio variability and new-onset diabetes in Chinese adults.

Materials and methods

A total of 45,911 patients with three TG and HDL measurements between 2006 and 2011 were enrolled. Average real variability (ARV) were used to evaluate variability, and participants were grouped according to tertiles of TG/HDL-ARV.

Results

There were 3,724 cases of incident diabetes mellitus during the observation period (6.24 ± 1.2 years). The 7-year cumulative incidences of diabetes mellitus in tertiles 1, 2 and 3 were 6.13%, 8.09% and 11.77%, respective
