Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol is a predictor for cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus

Table 2 Association of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and cardiovascular mortality in patients with diabetes, hazard ratio (95% confidence intervals)

Cardiovascular mortality	Q1	Q2	Q3	Q4	Per SD
Model 1	Reference	0.86 (0.69-1.07)	0.92 (0.74-1.14)	0.86 (0.70-1.07)	0.94 (0.87-1.02)
Model 2	Reference	1.03 (0.82-1.28)	1.25 (1.01-1.55)	1.40 (1.12-1.75)	1.15 (1.06-1.24)
Model 3	Reference	1.02 (0.81-1.27)	1.24 (0.99-1.54)	1.39 (1.11-1.73)	1.14 (1.06-1.24)

Model 1: No adjustment. Model 2: Adjusted for age, ethnicities, education levels, poverty-income ratio. Model 3: Adjusted for age, ethnicities, education levels, poverty-income ratio, history of heart failure.
