Implication

May support lipid ratios for early MetS identification; hypothesis-generating and requires longitudinal validation before clinical use.

Structured PICO

Population

6,546 participants (3,820 men; mean age 46.0+/-9.2 years in men, 44.6+/-9.5 years in women) undergoing routine health examinations in Korea.

Outcome

Association with metabolic syndrome (MetS), insulin resistance (IR) by homeostatic model assessment (HOMA), and adiponectin levelssurrogate

Lipid ratios such as TC/HDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, and TG/HDL-C are strongly associated with metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance, supporting their use as integrated lipid measures for cardiovascular risk assessment.
