T2D patients with a mean LDL-C ≤ 90 and > 103.59–119 mg/dL had relatively higher risk of cardiovascular mortality in the normal albumin group, but in the lower albumin group (<3.5 g/dL), any level of mean LDL-C ≤ 119 mg/dL was not significantly associated with cardiovascular mortality. Here, ALB is linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus.
