Association between the non-HDL-c to HDL-c ratio and mortality risk in cardiorenal syndrome: A population-based study from 1999 to 2018 NHANES.

Key takeaways

This study looked at 1,408 people with both heart and kidney disease. It checked if a specific cholesterol ratio was linked to a higher risk of death. It shows a link, but it does not prove that changing the ratio prevents death. It helps doctors identify patients who are at higher risk.
