Background: Individuals diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and metabolic syndrome are at a heightened risk for cardiovascular disease. Apolipoprotein B (Apo B) is a reliable measure for assessing atherogenic particles, while Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) plays a key role in antiatherogenic high-density lipoproteins. Timely identification and evaluation of cardio metabolic risk factors can decrease the likelihood of developing CVD. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the association of Apo B/Apo A-I ratio with cardiometabolic risk biomarkers in T2DM. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study conducted at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital and involved 120 individuals diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus who visited the Medicine Outpatient Department, as well as 120 apparently healthy controls...
