United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study Risk Engine’s 10-year absolute predicted risk of developing non-fatal or fatal coronary artery disease (CAD; grey bars) or fatal CAD (solid bars) in 258 T2DM females according to quintiles of log (TG)/HDL-C ranking distribution. Within each quintile, data were obtained from subsets of patients (in % for each quintile) in primary cardiovascular prevention (Q I: 81%; Q II: 81%; Q III: 69%; Q IV: 78%; and Q V: 71%). HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG: triglycerides. Significance of differences between quintiles: both P<0.0001 (CAD and fatal CAD).
