a TC: total cholesterol; TG: triglyceride; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein cholesterol * Adjusted for age, current smoker, current alcohol use, physical inactivity, education attainment, blood pressure and waist circumference The TG/HDL-C ratio, the TC/HDL-C ratio and TG were associated with IR in overweight/obese men and both normal-weight and overweight/obese women. The LDL-C/HDL-C ratio was associated with IR in normal—weight women. In normal-weight men, none of lipid ratios nor TG was associated with IR.
