Relation Among the Plasma Triglyceride/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Concentration Ratio, Insulin Resistance, and Associated Cardio-Metabolic Risk Factors in Men and Women

摘要: Results of recent studies using the ratio plasma triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentration identify insulin-resistant patients at increased cardiometabolic risk have emphasized that cut point used for this purpose will vary with race. Because TG and HDL concentrations gender, analysis was initiated define gender-specific TG/HDL ratios best identified high-risk subjects among women (n = 1,102) men 464) primarily European ancestry. Insulin resistance defined as 25% population highest values fasting insulin homeostasis model assessment resistance. Using >2.5 in >3.5 subgroups were comparable terms associated risk, significantly higher insulin, resistance, blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, glucose lower than below these points. The sensitivity specificity points about 40% 80%, respectively. In conclusion, identifies who are resistant greater varies between women.
