Clinical and laboratory data of subjects were collected. Patients with GBPs or cholecystectomy at baseline, with missing data for baseline lipid profiles, following abdominal ultrasonography or taking lipid-lowering drugs were excluded. The patients were divided into five groups based on their non-HDL-c\/HDL-c ratios, and descriptive analyses of the baseline data were performed.

Compared with subjects without GBPs, those who developed GBPs after follow-up had significantly higher triglyceride (TG) levels and non-HDL-c\/HDL-c ratios. The prevalence of GBPs showed a linearity increment with age, peaked in the 30\u201339\u2009years group, 40\u201349\u2009years group and 50\u201359\u2009years group, and then declined slightly. The results of univariate analysis showed that the non-HDL-c\/HDL-c ratio (hazard ratio (HR)\u2009=\u20091.29, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.05\u20131.60, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0159) was positively correlated with GBPs. In the fully adjusted Cox regression model, the HRs were 2.24 for quintile 2 (95% CI: 1.13\u20134.44, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0203), 1.50 for quintile 3 (95% CI: 0.73\u20133.10, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.269), 2.52 for quintile 4 (95% CI: 1.26\u20135.01, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0087) and 2.13 for quintile 5 (95% CI: 1.04\u20134.37, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.0397).
