Abstract
Background The triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) index, calculated as TG levels divided by HDL-C levels, is suggested as a predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We investigated the association between the TG/HDL-C index and initial CVD events in high-risk patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
