Threshold effect of non-high-density lipoprotein to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and hypertension in U.S. adults: NHANES 2005-2016.

Hypertension is a prevalent chronic non-communicable disease associated with cardiovascular issues, strokes, kidney disorders, and depression. Most hypertensive patients have dyslipidemia and metabolic abnormalities. The non-high-density lipoprotein to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) is a novel index that more accurately assesses the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases and metabolic issues like insulin resistance.
