Association of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio to identify future prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus: over one-decade follow-up in the Iranian population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To determine the association between triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C) for identifying subjects at risk of incident prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods

In 5064 subjects (men = 2247) aged ≥ 20 years, using Cox proportional hazards regression analyses, the associations of TG/HDL-C with incident prediabetes and T2DM were examined among normoglycemic men and women. Furthermore, the association of this lipid ratio with incident T2DM was also assessed among prediabetic subjects (n = 1414). The multivariable analyses were adjusted for age, body mass index, waist-to-height ratio, wrist circumference, systolic blood pressure, family history of T2DM, education level, history of cardiovascular diseases, and fasting pla
