result sql = A higher ratio of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease. However, the role of this lipid index during early-stage atherosclerosis has not yet been established. This study investigated relationships between LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and carotid plaque score as assessed by ultrasonography in 825 subjects from the general population (527 men, 298 women; mean age, 60.5 years). To identify factors strongly associated with plaque score, stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed using various clinical variables including conventional lipid indices. In both sexes, increased LDL-C/HDL-C ratio was associated with increased plaque score (men: beta = 0.132, P = .001; women: beta = 0.150, P = .012). This association was maintained in men with normal LDL-C level (<140 mg/dL). The highest quartile of LDL-C/HDL-C ratio (>2.9 in men, >2.6 in women) showed significantly increased plaque score even when adjusted by factors included in the final model of stepwise analysis (P = .007 in men, P = .033 in women). No association was seen between LDL-C and plaque score in the multivariate-adjusted model. These findings indicate that increased LDL-C/HDL-C ratio may also be associated with initiation of atherosclerosis. Assessment of this lipid ratio may thus facilitate early management of atherosclerotic risks better rather than assessment of LDL-C alone.

result sql = A higher ratio of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular events in patients with coronary heart disease. However, the role of this lipid index during early-stage atherosclerosis has not yet been established. This study investigated relationships between LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and carotid plaque score as assessed by ultrasonography in 825 subjects from the general population (527 men, 298 women; mean age, 60.5 years). To identify factors strongly associated with plaque score, stepwise multiple regression analysis was performed using various clinical variables including conventional lipid indices. In both sexes, increased LDL-C/HDL-C ratio was associated with increased plaque score (men: beta = 0.132, P = .001; women: beta = 0.150, P = .012). This association was maintained in men with normal LDL-C level (<140 mg/dL). The highest quartile of LDL-C/HDL-C ratio (>2.9 in men, >2.6 in women) showed significantly increased plaque score even when adjusted by factors included in the final model of stepwise analysis (P = .007 in men, P = .033 in women). No association was seen between LDL-C and plaque score in the multivariate-adjusted model. These findings indicate that increased LDL-C/HDL-C ratio may also be associated with initiation of atherosclerosis. Assessment of this lipid ratio may thus facilitate early management of atherosclerotic risks better rather than assessment of LDL-C alone.
