Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein ratio as a predictor for 10-year cardiovascular disease in individuals with diabetes in Thailand
The TG/HDL ratio is significantly associated with 10-year predicted CVD risk in T2DM with age-specific differences in predictive value. The lower cutoff for older adults (2.42) suggests even modest elevations indicate increased risk. These findings support TG/HDL integration into routine CVD risk assessments and highlight the importance of age-specific cutoffs for improved risk stratification.
