The effect of increasing TG/HDL-c serum ratio, as a result of insulin resistance, is considered to have an important role in the occurrence of arterial stiffness. Increased arterial stiffness is an important marker in the development of cardiovascular disease and is a predictor of heart attack and stroke. This research aims to determine the relationship between the arterial stiffness assessed through non-invasive cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) examination and the TG/HDL-c ratio in overweight and obese individuals. Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) is a non-invasive clinical measurement to evaluate arterial stiffness manner and independent of blood pressure. This is a correlational study with purposive sampling technique. Thirty-two subjects participated in this research and each subject underwent a CAVI examination to assess arterial stiffness and their blood samples were collected for lipid profile measurement. The data were analysed using Pearson Correlation Test. There was a positive and significant correlation between TG/HDL-c serum level and arterial stiffness using Cardio- Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) in overweight or obese patients (p <0,01).
