ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:
Triglyceride (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio may play a role in predicting cardiovascular events. We aimed to prospectively explore the association between the TG/HDL-C ratio and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), ischemic stroke, as well as coronary heart disease (CHD) in a Chinese population. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
This prospective cohort study included 9368 participants from four Chinese populations in the People's Republic of China-United States of America (PRC-USA) Collaborative Study of Cardiovascular and Cardiopulmonary Epidemiology. Over a follow-up period of 20 years, 624 cases of ASCVD events including 458 ischemic stroke events and 166 CHD events were recorded. The relationship between the TG/HDL-C ratio and the endpoints was evaluated through multivariate Cox proportional hazard models adjusted for potential confounding variables, including age, sex, urban or rural residence, northern or southern China, occupational type, education, physical exercise, smoking status, drinking status, body mass index, hypertension, high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, diabetes, and antihypertensive medication use at baseline. With the lowest TG/HDL-C tertile as the reference, the middle and highest tertiles had the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of 1.13 (0.91, 1.40), 1.36 (1.10, 1.67) respectively for ASCVD (p for trend = 0.0028), and 1.19 (0.93, 1.54),1.47 (1.15, 1.87) respectively for ischemic stroke (p for trend = 0.0016). However, no significant association was found for CHD events.CONCLUSION:
TG/HDL-C ratio was positively associated with the risk of ASCVD and ischemic stroke events in the Chinese population.Palavras-chave
