Higher TG/HDL ratio tertiles were associated with increased odds of high pericardial adipose tissue volume with OR 3.51 (95% CI 2.12–5.81) and 3.26 (95% CI 1.78–5.98) for second and third tertiles respectively compared to lowest tertile after adjustment.

Does an elevated TG/HDL ratio correlate with high pericardial adipose tissue volume in Korean adults?
A TG/HDL ratio cutoff of 1.918 is significantly associated with high pericardial adipose tissue volume, suggesting its utility as a simple, accessible biomarker for visceral adiposity and metabolic syndrome risk.
Estimación del efecto: OR 3.51 for second tertile, OR 3.26 for third tertile vs. first tertile (95% CI 95% CI 2.12–5.81 for second tertile; 1.78–5.98 for third tertile)

The TG/HDL ratio was positively correlated with high PAT volume, and the TG/HDL ratio cutoff for association with high PAT was determined to be 1.918.
Choung et al. (Thu,) conducted a observational in Korean adults undergoing health screening with metabolic parameters assessed including pericardial adipose tissue volume and TG/HDL ratio (n=627). Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL) ratio vs. Low TG/HDL ratio (lowest tertile) was evaluated on High pericardial adipose tissue volume defined as ≥142.2 cm³ (OR 3.51 for second tertile, OR 3.26 for third tertile vs. first tertile, 95% CI 95% CI 2.12–5.81 for second tertile; 1.78–5.98 for third tertile, p=<0.001). Higher TG/HDL ratio tertiles were associated with increased odds of high pericardial adipose tissue volume with OR 3.51 (95% CI 2.12–5.81) and 3.26 (95% CI 1.78–5.98) for second and third tertiles respectively compared to lowest tertile after adjustment.
