Predictive ability of plasma concentration of triglyceride/high density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio for cardiometabolic variables in a sub-Sahara black African adolescent population–Nigerians

TG/HDL-c ratio effectively predicted MetS, hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia among early and mid-adolescent Nigerians. As a tool, the TG/HDL-c ratio should be considered for the initial prediction of MetS and some of its dyslipidimic components. Further studies are needed to confirm findings in this study.
