AIP and atherosclerosis: Multi-variate logistic regression analysis showed that five atherosclerosis indexes were associated with T2DM, with adjusted ORs (95% CIs) of 1.29 (1.15–1.45), 1.29 (1.18–1.42), 1.45 (1.29–1.62), 1.41 (1.25–1.59) and 1.34 (1.23–1.48) for each IQR increment in Non-HDL-C, TG/HDLC, AI, AIP and LCI, respectively.
