A comparison of various insulin resistance indices and the possibility of hypertension in military adults: CHIEF study.

In the present study, the association of the TG/HDL-C ratio with prevalent hypertension as defined as resting BP ≥ 130/80 mmHg was no longer statistically significant after further adjustments for total cholesterol, LDL-C, SUA and kidney function, whereas the association was borderline significant if hypertension was defined as BP ≥ 140/90 mmHg, consistent with the findings in prior studies [ 12 , 13 ].
