About the saddles of quasi-convex functions

What do we know about the structure of critical points of quasi-convex functions?


I am looking for statements like "the critical points of a quasi-convex function are always either a global minima or a saddle point" or "for a quasi-convex function the number of negative eigenvalues of its Hessian at a critical point is constant across intervals of values of the function evaluated at the critical points"

Are statements like this known?
