Uric acid to HDL cholesterol ratio as a novel predictor of carotid intima-media thickness: a cross-sectional study in rural China
This study identifies UHR as a significant predictor of cIMT and carotid intima-media thickening, with a particularly strong association observed in older men. These findings suggest that UHR could serve as a valuable marker for early detection and intervention of carotid atherosclerosis.
