Association between Type II Diabetes Mellitus and Pre- DM with the Triglyceride-to-HDL-Cholesterol Ratios in Korean Older Adults: KNHANES VIII-1

Older persons are more likely to have diabetes mellitus and continued trends in this direction are expected in the upcoming decades. According to Sesti, et al [1], 51% of older persons (over 65) in the US have prediabetes and over 25% have diabetes. In South Korea, three of ten people over 65 had diabetes mellitus with inadequate glycemic and risk factor management (Jung, et al. [2,3]).
