The relationship between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (NHHR), as a novel lipid indicator, and insulin resistance (IR) remains unclear. This cross-sectional study aimed to identify the association between NHHR and the risk of IR. Utilizing NHA...
