Assess whether nontraditional lipid and lipid–inflammation metrics improve detection and risk stratification across the spectrum of abnormal glucose metabolism.
Key Takeaways
- All nontraditional lipid parameters were significantly positively associated with impaired glucose metabolism
- Atherogenic coefficient, Castelli's index I, RC‑CRP and RC/HDL‑CRP best discriminated prediabetes
- High‑sensitivity CRP partially mediated lipid parameter associations with prediabetes but not with diabetes
