Abstract
Lipid profile is major predictive index for cardiovascular disease, but there are only few studies on relationship between lipid ratio and cardiovascular disease risk factors in Korean population. We investigated the association between three lipid ratios and cardiovascular disease risk factors among Korean adults. This study used data from the seventh Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 2016. Lipid ratios included triglyceride (TG)/high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), the total cholesterol (TC)/HDL and the low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL)/HDL. Cardiovascular risk factors included in this research were as follows: systolic blood pressure (SBP)≥ 140, diastolic blood pressure (DBP)≥ 90, fasting blood sugar (FBS)≥ 126, HbA1c≥ 6.5, body mass index (BMI)≥ 25, waist circumference (WC) men≥ 90, women≥ 85 and metabolic syndrome (MetS). A complex samples logistic regression test was performed to analyze the association between lipid ratios and cardiovascular disease risk factors. Results that 1) TG/HDL ratio had statistically significant relationship with DBP, FBS, HbA1c, BMI, WC and MetS. 2) TC/HDL ratio was correlated to SBP, DBP, FBS, BMI, WC and MetS. 3) LDL/HDL ratio had association with BMI, WC and MetS. We identified significant association between lipid ratios and cardiovascular disease risk factors, especially three lipid ratios were commonly associated with BMI, WC and MetS.
