Why the study?
Can lipid ratios (TG/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C) predict insulin resistance and beta-cell function in a Chinese population?
Can lipid ratios (TG/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C) predict insulin resistance and beta-cell function in a Chinese population?
In a Chinese population, TG/HDL-C ratio and TG levels are modest predictors of insulin resistance but not reliable markers of beta-cell function.

Elevated TG/HDL-C ratio was associated with IR in Taiwanese adults; leaves open its value as ethnicity-specific marker pending prospective studies.
Zhou et al. (2016) studied this question.
