Lipid abnormality was defined as raised when TG level ≥1.7 mmol/L, reduced HDL-C - <1.03 mmol/L in males and <1.30 mmol/L in females, and TC level ≥5.2 mmol/L (200 mg/dl).[20 (link)]
The atherogenic index and lipid ratios were calculated using the following established formulas:[10 (link)21 (link)]
5. CHOLIndex = LDL-C − HDL-C (TG <400) = LDL-C – HDL-C + 1/5 TG (TG >400).
The following are the abnormal values of AIP, lipid ratios, and CHOLIndex for cardiovascular risk: AIP >0.1, CRI-I >3.5 in males and >3.0 in females, CRI-II >3.3, AC >3.0, and CHOLIndex >2.07.[10 (link)11 22 (link)23 (link)]
