Non-linear association between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and risk of prediabetes: a retrospective cohort study based on Chinese adults

This study reveals a non-linear positive association between LDL-C levels and prediabetes risk in Chinese adults after adjusting for confounders. The dynamic monitoring of LDL-C levels may help identify individuals at high risk for prediabetes. Timely dietary and lifestyle modifications could potentially reduce the risk of prediabetes. These findings offer new insights for prediabetes prevention and treatment.
