Association of C-reactive protein/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio with stroke in Chinese adults across different glycemic status

Key Points

• This research aims to investigate the relationship between the C-reactive protein/HDL cholesterol ratio and stroke risk in adults with varying glycemic status.
• Analyzed the association between C-reactive protein/HDL cholesterol ratio and stroke incidence.
• Considered different glycemic statuses: normal glucose regulation (NGR) and diabetes.
• Utilized statistical analyses to assess risk and discriminative ability.
• Higher C-reactive protein/HDL cholesterol ratio is linked to an increased stroke risk.
• The association is stronger and nonlinear in individuals with normal glucose regulation compared to those with diabetes.
• C-reactive protein/HDL cholesterol ratio has limited ability to predict stroke on its own.
