The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The metabolic syndrome. (2003, neutral): “5 or greater predicts insulin resistance as well as the criteria for metabolic syndrome [11].”
Dietary carbohydrate restriction as the first approach in diabetes management: critical review and evidence base. (2015, neutral): “The ratio of TG to HDL, which is also improved more by carbohydrate restriction is taken as a correlate of the smaller dense LDL, which is not routinely measured [74].”
Obesity and the metabolic syndrome in developing countries. (2008, methodology): “It has been shown that the NCEP, ATP III criterion, which is most likely to identify insulin resistance in individuals, is the triglycerides to HDL-C ratio (120).”
A position statement on NAFLD/NASH based on the EASL 2009 special conference. (2010, background): “Finally, insulin sensitivity on lipid metabolism may be assessed in the fasting state as the ratio of triglyceride to HDL-cholesterol levels [132].”
Cardiometabolic Risk of Second-Generation Antipsychotics During First-Time Use in Children and Adolescents (2009, background): “33 Ofnote,tri-glycerides and the ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol, which are suggested markers in adults, 34 seem to be more sensitive than glucose and insulin for the early identification of worsening insulin resistance.”
