Combining Calculated Small Dense Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol With Triglycerides for Refined Stratification of New Onset of Diabetes Mellitus
By Wataru Kawaharata, Marenao Tanaka, Yukinori Akiyama and 9 others.
Abstract
Background: The small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) level as a predictor of atherosclerosis is elevated in patients with insulin resistance who have high levels of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and triglycerides (TG). However, it remains unclear whether estimated sdLDL-C is associated with the new onset of diabetes mellitus (DM).
