The Cut-off Value of Serum Triglyceride/ High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio of High Pericardial Adipose Tissue

초록/요약

Background: Recently, both the triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL) ratio and pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) have emerged as important indicators associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). We aimed to evaluate the relationship between the TG/HDL ratio and PAT. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 627 patients who underwent coronary multidetector computed tomography to assess metabolic parameters. Subjects were stratified into two groups based on the PAT volume cut-off associated with MS, specifically 142.2cm³, and metabolic parameters were compared between these groups. The TG/HDL ratio was divided into tertiles according to the logarithm of TG/HDL, and differences in PAT-related parameters among tertiles were assessed using analysis of variance. Logistic regression was performed to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) for high PAT ( ≥ 142.2cm ³ ) across tertiles and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was performed to determine the optimal TG/HDL ratio cut-off for linking with high PAT. Results: The mean TG/HDL ratio in the group with high PAT was 3.6. The TG/HDL ratio demonstrated strong positive correlations with several metabolic parameters. Individuals in the higher Log(TG/HDL) tertiles exhibited a greater prevalence of metabolic disturbances, including increased PAT, and displayed higher ORs for having high PAT (OR=3.51 in the second tertile and OR=3.26 in the third tertile) after adjusting for age, sex, smoking, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia status. ROC analysis identified a TG/HDL ratio of 1.92 (P<0.001) as the threshold for elevated PAT. Conclusion: The TG/HDL ratio is positively correlated with high PAT volume and the TG/HDL ratio cut-off for associated with high PAT was determined to be 1.92.
