RC, remnant cholesterol; TG, triglyceride; TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; N-HDL-C, non-HDL-C. Associations between serum lipid profile and stages of PAD by Spearman correlation analysis and the association between RC and stages of DR by partial correlation analysis a: Adjusted for TG; b: Adjusted for TC; c: Adjusted for LDL-C; d: Adjusted for HDL-C; e: Adjusted for N-HDL; f: Adjusted for TG and HDL-C. P < 0.05 (two-sided) was defined as statistically significant. Bold values indicate statistically significance.
