Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol predicts cardiovascular risk better than remnant cholesterol in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Non-HDL-c is a stronger and more practical predictor of ASCVD risk than RC in T2DM patients, particularly in settings with limited access to advanced lipid testing. Its use alongside the TyG index offers a cost-effective approach for enhancing cardiovascular risk stratification in diabetes care.
