Background: We aimed to evaluate the association of the ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C/HDL-C) and its dynamic changes with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: A total of 11,487 nondiabetic participants ≥18 years old in rural China were recruited in 2007-2008 and followed up in 2013-2014. A Cox proportional-hazards model was used to assess the risk of incident T2DM by quartiles of baseline non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio and dynamic absolute and relative changes in non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio, estimating hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results: Risk of incident T2DM was increased with quartiles 2, 3, and 4 versus quartile 1 of baseline non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio (HR 1.46 [95% CI 1.08-1.98], 1.51 [1.12-2.03], and 2.16 [1.62-2.88], P < 0.001). As compared with stable non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio during follow-up, an absolute gain in non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio was associated with increased risk of T2DM (HR 1.67 [95% CI 1.25-2.24] for quartile 3 and 2.00 [1.52-2.61] for quartile 4). A relative increase in non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio was also associated with increased risk of T2DM (HR 1.56 [95% CI 1.19-2.04] for quartile 3 and 1.97 [1.49-2.60] for quartile 4). Subgroup analyses showed that the association of non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio with T2DM risk remained consistent.

Conclusions: Increased non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio is associated with increased risk of incident T2DM among rural Chinese adults, so the index may be an important indicator for identifying individuals at T2DM risk.

Background: The incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is increasing, with individuals experiencing acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at a younger age. Premature AMI is a serious condition with high rates of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to identify clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with premature AMI and to evaluate the diagnostic value of those risk factors.

Background: Dyslipidemia is a known independent risk factor for Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the relationship between NAFLD and the serum non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio remains unclear. This study examined the association between the non-HDL-C to HDL-C ratio and NAFLD prevalence, including liver steatosis and fibrosis levels in the population.

Background: Central obesity is a well-recognized risk factor for diabetes, yet the potential role of lipids in the diabetes risk associated with central obesity remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the possible mediating role of 11 lipid parameters [high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (Non-HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), remnant cholesterol (RC), and ratios of Non-HDL-C/HDL-C, RC/HDL-C, LDL/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C] in the association of central obesity with diabetes risk.

Methods: We utilized data from 15,453 participants in the NAGALA longitudinal cohort to assess the association of baseline central obesity indicators [waist-height ratio (WHtR), waist circumference (WC)] and the 11 lipid parameters with diabetes risk.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between the ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein to high-density lipoprotein (NHHR) and overall survival rates among cancer survivors.
  • The analysis included 4,177 participants from NHANES, revealing that those with a lower NHHR (≤1.64) had a 31% increased risk of death from any cause compared to those with higher NHHR levels.
  • Results indicated that the NHHR-mortality link was stable across various demographics, with significant findings related to smoking and diabetes, while showing a J-shaped relationship for obesity-related cancer survivors but lacking significance for cancer-specific mortality.

Objectives: The relationship between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR) and hypertension remains uncertain, warranting further investigation. This study aims to elucidate the association between NHHR and hypertension.

Methods: A comprehensive cross-sectional stratified survey involving 30,602 participants aged 20 years and older was conducted using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset from 2001 to 2018.
