Associations of HDL-C/LDL-C with myocardial infarction, all-cause mortality, haemorrhagic stroke and ischaemic stroke: a longitudinal study based on 384 093 participants from the UK Biobank

Abstract

In UKB participants, HDL-C/LDL-C ratio of 0.4-0.6 was correlated with lower MI risk, all-cause mortality, haemorrhagic stroke and ischaemic stroke. Participants with HDL-C/LDL-C<0.4 were correlated with a higher MI risk regardless of whether they had a high, intermediate or low CHD-GRS. The clinical significance and impact of HDL-C/LDL-C need to be further verified in future studies.
