Fig. 3. — Adjusted odds ratios for metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adolescents whose lipid ratio values were above the cutoffs (TC/HDL-C ratio≥3.8, TG/HDL-C ratio≥3.3) relative to the adolescents whose lipid ratios were within normal ranges (adjusted for sex, age, and body mass index). The odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for MetS in adolescents with a high TC/HDL-C ratio, high TG/HDL-C ratio, and high TG/HDL-C & TC/HDL-C ratios were 14.8 (2.8–77.4), 30.6 (6.0–157.6), and 36.2 (7.2–186.2), respectively. TC/HDL-C, total cholesterol to high density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG/HDL-C, triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol.
