  1. Between the TyG index and HDL-C, LDL-C, and VLDL-C levels and mean LDL particle size, partial correlation coefficients are defined as r values, adjusted for age, sex, and BMI
  2. Abbreviations: HDL-C High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, VLDL-C Very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
  3. * The reference value is defined as R between the TyG index and mean LDL particle size
  4. a P-values for r between the TyG index and HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C levels and LDL particle size
  5. b P-values for comparing absolute correlation coefficients via Steiger’s Z test between the TyG Index and HDL-C, LDL-C, and VLDL-C levels and mean LDL particle size
