Relationship of diabetes and prediabetes with lipid ratios in Changzhou Residents of Jiangsu Province

Abstract

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of lipid ratios with diabetes and pre-diabetes in residents aged 35-75 years in Changzhou City.MethodsA multistage whole-group random sampling method was used to survey permanent residents aged 35-75 years in Tianning and Wujin districts of Changzhou City， and the study data were obtained by questionnaires， physical examination and laboratory tests. The relationship between lipid ratios and diabetes and pre-diabetes was analyzed by dichotomous logistic regression method.ResultsThe prevalence of diabetes in the surveyed population in Changzhou was 18.69%， and the prevalence of pre-diabetes was 10.53%. In the total population， the risk of pre-diabetes was significantly increased in the highest TC/HDL-C， TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C groups， by 68%， 93% and 38%， respectively； the risk of diabetes was also significantly increased in the highest TC/HDL-C， TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C groups， by 105%， 149% and 78%， respectively. The risk of diabetes was also significantly increased in the highest TC/HDL-C， TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C groups， by 105%， 149% and 78%， respectively. All three lipid ratios increased in women compared to men， leading to a stronger association with increased risk of diabetes and pre-diabetes.ConclusionLipid ratios TC/HDL-C， TG/HDL-C， and LDL-C/HDL-C were correlated with the risk of diabetes and pre-diabetes in people aged 35-75 years， with TG/HDL-C having the strongest association with diabetes and pre-diabetes， and is expected to be a key predictor for assessing the development of diabetes.
