Individual Variation in the Distribution of Apolipoprotein B Levels Across the Spectrum of LDL-C or Non–HDL-C Levels

Source : https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamacardiology/article-abstract/2820073

This study suggests that because there is a substantial range of values of apoB for any value of LDL-C or non–HDL-C, restricting testing of apoB to those with metabolic risk factors will miss a substantial minority of individuals with discordantly elevated levels of apoB relative to LDL-C or non–HDL-C.

Arterial stiffness is increased in youth with high lipid ratios with TG/HDL-C being the most consistent marker of vascular changes. These data suggest that identification of high TG/HDL-C in these individuals may lead to earlier intervention to prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
