From: Triglyceride/low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is the most valuable predictor for increased small, dense LDL in type 2 diabetes patients

ROC curves for TG/LDL-C ratio and non–HDL-C for predicting high LDL-MI (≥ 0.400) among all patients (A) and those not treated with statins (B). AUCs of TG/LDL-C ratio (red line) and non–HDL-C (blue line) among all patients (A) and those not treated with statins (B). The AUC of the TG/LDL-C ratio was significantly greater than that of non–HDL-C among all patients (P = 0.0035, χ2 test), and those not treated with statins (P = 0.0002). ROC, receiver operating characteristic; LDL-MI, LDL migration index; AUC, area under the curve; TG, triglyceride; LDL-C, low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol; non–HDL-C, non–high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol
