Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is associated with diabetes incidence in non-obese individuals with normoglycemia: a retrospective cohort study based on individuals from East Asia

This study reveals a non-linear association between the TG/HDL-c ratios and the likelihood of diabetes in non-obese individuals from East Asia. Maintaining a ratio of TG/HDL-C below 1.36 significantly reduces diabetes risk. However, once the ratio of TG/HDL-C exceeds 1.36, reducing it does not substantially lower diabetes onset risk.
