“…Subjects were participants in the cohort of BCAMS1718. The BCAMS is a prospective cohort study, which aims to identify cardiovascular risk factors from childhood to adulthood.…”

“…However, recent studies have demonstrated that non-HDL-C can be used as an accurate predictor of cardiovascular disease 6) . The TG/HDL-C ratio has been suggested as a measure to identify overweight individuals with insulin resistance 7, 8) . In recent studies, the TG/HDL-C ratio was found to be associated with cardiovascular mortality 9) .…”

“…Subsequently, many researchers have reported that the L/A ratio is a consistent marker of IR in patients with and without diabetes in comparison with other indicators [58] and may be used as an atherogenic index, providing additional information on the risk of MS [59]. We found a correlation between the L/A index and insulin values during OGTT and with HOMA values, suggesting again the possible utility of this ratio to predict the presence of IR, better than adiponectin or leptin alone [54].…”
