Compared to LDL Cholesterol, Incident Cardiovascular Disease is More Frequently Linked to Residual Cholesterol

Abstract

Author(s): Nancy Babio*

Hereditary, observational and clinical intercession studies demonstrate that coursing levels of Remainder Cholesterol (RC) are related with cardiovascular sicknesses. However, it is still unclear how well RC can predict cardiovascular mortality in the general population. The 19,650 adults in the United States who participated in our study were drawn from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2014. The Sampson formula was used to divide non-High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (non-HDL-C) by Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C) to arrive at RC. Subgroup analysis, restricted cubic spline analysis and multivariate Cox regression were used to investigate the connection between RC and cardiovascular mortality. Independent of conventional risk factors, elevated RC levels was linked to cardiovascular mortality.
