Table 2.

Odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI of different lipid parameters for having risk of T2DM and prediabetes.

Lipid Parameters Prediabetes T2DM
OR (95% CI) p Value OR (95% CI) p Value
T-Chol 0.90 (0.50, 1.61) 0.731 2.43 (1.46, 4.04) <0.001
Tg 1.96 (1.42, 2.69) <0.001 3.91 (2.78, 5.51) <0.001
HDL-Cholesterol 2.93 (1.27, 6.73) 0.011 2.17 (1.02, 4.61) 0.044
LDL-Cholesterol 1.40 (0.84, 2.33) 0.193 0.63 (0.36, 1.11) 0.109

Multiple logistic regression analysis adjusted for age was applied to generate OR and 95% CI. Independent variables were categories as follows: Cholesterol (normal < 5.2 vs. high ≥ 5.2 mmol/L); Triglycerides (normal < 1.7 vs. high ≥ 1.7 mmol/L); HDL-C (normal M ≥ 1.04 & F ≥ 1.3 vs. Low M < 1.04 and F < 1.3 mmol/L); LDL-C (normal < 3.4 vs. high ≥ 3.4 mmol/L). Abbreviation: T2DM, type 2 diabetes mellitus; CI, confidence interval; T-Chol, total cholesterol; Tg, triglycerides; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein.
