The Ankle Brachial Index Exhibits Better Association of Cardiovascular Prognosis Than Non–High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract Objective The association between ankle brachial index (ABI) and outcomes in diabetic subjects is controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the ABI is more strongly associated with cardiovascular outcomes comparing with non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non–HD...

Zusammenfassung:	Abstract Objective The association between ankle brachial index (ABI) and outcomes in diabetic subjects is controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the ABI is more strongly associated with cardiovascular outcomes comparing with non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non–HDL-c). Research Design and Methods A total of 452 type 2 diabetic subjects followed up for a mean of 5.8 years were grouped by ABI (
