Accuracy of the ratio of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol for predicting low-density lipoprotein cholesterol particle sizes, phenotype B, and particle concentrations among Asian Indians.

Abstract excerpt

Asian Indians have unusually high rates of coronary artery disease. Small low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle predominance (phenotype B) is associated with a fourfold atherogenic risk. This study examined the accuracy of a triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) ratio of > or =3.8 (determined from the Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines, normal triglycerides <150 mg/dl and HDL >40 mg/dl) for...
