Evaluation of non-HDL-c and total cholesterol: HDL-c Ratio as Cumulative Marker of Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

The present study observation revealed that the Non-HDL-C and TC: HDL-C strongly correlate with established independent risk factors such as obesity(WC), elevated blood pressure, HDL-C and LDL-C in diabetes. Thus, the evaluation of Non-HDL-C and TC: HDL-C ratio can be used as the simple, cost-effective and cumulative marker of cardiovascular risk in diabetes mellitus.
