Total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio vs LDL cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio as indices of ischemic heart disease risk in men: the Quebec Cardiovascular Study.

BACKGROUND: Total cholesterol (TC)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)/HDL-C ratios are used to predict ischemic heart disease risk. There is, however, no consensus on which of these 2 indices is superior. The objective of the present study was to present evidence that the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio may underestimate ischemic heart disease risk in overweight hyperinsulinemic patients with high triglyceride (TG)-low HDL-C dyslipidemia. METHODS: A total of 2103 middle-aged men in whom measurements of the metabolic profile were performed in the fasting state were recruited from 7 suburbs of the Quebec metropolitan area. RESULTS: The relationship of LDL-C/HDL-C to TC/HDL-C ratios was examined among men in the Quebec Cardiovascular Study classified into tertiles of fasting TG levels. For any given LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, the TC/HDL-C ratio was higher among men in the top TG tertile (>168 mg/dL [>1.9 mmol/L]) than in men in the first and second TG tertiles. Adjustment of the TC/HDL-C ratio for LDL-C/HDL-C by covariance analysis generated significant differences in average TC/HDL-C ratios among TG tertiles (P<.001). Greater differences in features of the insulin resistance syndrome (insulinemia, apolipoprotein B, and LDL size) were noted across tertiles of the TC/HDL-C ratio than tertiles of the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio. CONCLUSION: Variation in the TC/HDL-C ratio may be associated with more substantial alterations in metabolic indices predictive of ischemic heart disease risk and related to the insulin resistance syndrome than variation in the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio.

The relative strength of C-reactive protein and lipid levels as determinants of ischemic stroke compared with coronary heart disease in women.

OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the relative strength of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and lipid levels as markers for future ischemic stroke compared with coronary heart disease (CHD) in women. BACKGROUND: Although hs-CRP and lipid levels are established risk determinants for vascular disease, the relative strength of these biomarkers for ischemic stroke compared with CHD is uncertain. METHODS: Among 15,632 initially healthy women who were followed for a 10-year period, we compared hs-CRP, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), apolipoproteins A-I and B100, and lipid ratios as determinants of ischemic stroke compared with CHD. RESULTS: After adjustment for age, smoking status, blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity, the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the third versus the first tertile for future ischemic stroke compared with CHD were, respectively, 1.91 (95% CI 1.13 to 3.21) and 2.26 (95% CI 1.64 to 3.12) for TC, 1.29 (95% CI 0.83 to 2.02) and 2.09 (95% CI 1.53 to 2.85) for LDL-C, 0.57 (95% CI 0.36 to 0.92) and 0.38 (95% CI 0.27 to 0.52) for HDL-C, 1.72 (95% CI 1.03 to 2.86) and 2.93 (95% CI 2.04 to 4.21) for non-HDL-C, and 2.76 (95% CI 1.51 to 5.05) and 1.66 (95% CI 1.17 to 2.34) for hs-CRP. Of the lipid ratios, that of TC to HDL-C had the largest HR for both future ischemic stroke and CHD (HR 1.95 [95% CI 1.16 to 3.26] and 4.20 [95% CI 2.79 to 6.32], respectively). CONCLUSIONS: In this large prospective cohort of initially healthy women, lipid levels are significant risk determinants for ischemic stroke, but with a magnitude of effect smaller than that observed for CHD. High-sensitivity CRP associates more closely with ischemic stroke than with CHD. Concomitant evaluation of lipid levels and hs-CRP may improve risk assessment for stroke as well as CHD.

Excess accumulation of body fat is related to dyslipidemia in normal-weight subjects

OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship of fat mass (FM) and its distribution to hypertension and dyslipidemia in normal-weight Japanese individuals. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS: Apparently healthy Japanese subjects with a body mass index (BMI) between 20 and 23.5 kg/m(2) (265 males and 741 females, age 21-69 y). MEASUREMENTS: BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) were measured. Low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) was calculated by the Friedewald formula. Percentage fat mass (%FM) and trunk fat mass-leg fat mass ratio (FM(trunk)/FM(legs)) were obtained by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. RESULTS: WC, WHR, %FM and FM(trunk)/FM(legs) were significantly correlated with TC, LDL-C, HDL-C and TG with the tendency of FM(trunk)/FM(legs) to show the strongest correlations. For %FM and FM(trunk)/FM(legs) in both sexes, odds ratios (ORs) of the third tertiles with respect to the first tertiles increased for LDL-C elevation, TG elevation and dyslipidemia. In males, ORs of the third tertiles of WC were significantly high for LDL-C elevation and dyslipidemia whereas those of WHR were high for TG elevation and dyslipidemia. ORs of the third tertiles of WC and WHR were significantly high for TG elevation in females. BMI was not associated with the risk of abnormal lipid levels. ORs for hypertension showed significant increases in none of the variables of obesity. CONCLUSIONS: Excess accumulation of FM, especially to the upper body, was related to dyslipidemia in normal-weight subjects. Simple anthropometric variables, WC and WHR, may be useful for screening and management of dyslipidemia in these subjects.     

Lipid profiles and the risk of new-onset hypertension in a Chinese community-based cohort

Background and aimsDyslipidemia and hypertension, key risk factors for cardiovascular disease, may share similar pathophysiological processes. A longitudinal association was reported between dyslipidemia and new-onset hypertension, but few data were published in Asian. We aimed to investigate the association of lipid profiles with new-onset hypertension in a Chinese community-based non-hypertensive cohort without lipid-lowering treatment (n = 1802).Methods and resultsNew-onset hypertension was defined as any self-reported history of hypertension, systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg, or receiving antihypertensive medications at follow-up. Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations. Participants were aged 53.97 ± 7.49 years, 31.19% were men, and 64.54% with dyslipidemia. During a median of 2.30 years follow-up, the incidence of new-onset hypertension was 12.99%. Multivariate adjusted risks of new-onset hypertension increased with triglyceride increases (odds ratio [OR] = 1.14, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03–1.27) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) decreases (OR = 0.47, 95% CI: 0.29–0.76) for one unit. However, threshold effects were observed for total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and non-HDL-C. Compared with subjects with hyperlipidemia, in those with normal concentrations of TC, LDL-C, and non-HDL-C increased risks of new-onset hypertension were observed with OR (95% CI) of 1.65 (1.10–2.46), 1.58 (1.07–2.33), and 1.57 (1.15–2.15) for one unit increasement, respectively, after adjusting for all covariates.ConclusionHigher TG and lower HDL-C increased the risk of new-onset hypertension, but for TC, LDL-C and non-HDLC, the risk of new-onset hypertension was increased only at normal concentrations in a Chinese community-based cohort.     

Relationship between total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, and high-density lipoprotein subclasses

Alterations in plasma lipid levels can influence the composition, content, and distribution of plasma lipoprotein subclasses that affect atherosclerosis risk. This study evaluated the relationship between plasma total cholesterol (TC)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio, triglyceride (TG)/HDL-C ratio, and HDL subclass distribution. The apolipoprotein A-I contents of plasma HDL subclasses were quantitated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with immunodetection in 442 Chinese subjects. The particle size of HDL shifted toward smaller size with the elevation of TC/HDL-C and TG/HDL-C ratios. The ratio of large-sized HDL(2b) to small-sized prebeta(1)-HDL (HDL(2b)/prebeta(1)-HDL) was about 4.7 in the subjects with TC/HDL-C of 3.3 or lower and TG/HDL-C of 2.5 or lower, whereas it was only approximately 1.1 in subjects with TC/HDL-C greater than 6 and TG/HDL-C greater than 5. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the TC/HDL-C ratio was positively correlated with prebeta(1)-HDL and HDL(3a) but negatively correlated with HDL(2a) and HDL(2b), whereas the TC/HDL-C ratio was only inversely correlated with HDL(2b). The TC/HDL-C and TG/HDL-C ratios together may be a good indicator of HDL subclass distribution. When these 2 ratios increased simultaneously, the trend toward smaller HDL size was obvious, which, in turn, indicated that the maturation of HDL might be impeded and the reverse cholesterol transport might be weakened. In addition, the TG/HDL-C ratio might be a more powerful factor to influence the distribution of HDL subclasses.     

Association of non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio and its dynamic changes with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus: The Rural Chinese Cohort Study

BackgroundWe aimed to evaluate the association of the ratio of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C/HDL-C) and its dynamic changes with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).MethodsA total of 11,487 nondiabetic participants ≥18 years old in rural China were recruited in 2007–2008 and followed up in 2013–2014. A Cox proportional-hazards model was used to assess the risk of incident T2DM by quartiles of baseline non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio and dynamic absolute and relative changes in non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio, estimating hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).ResultsRisk of incident T2DM was increased with quartiles 2, 3, and 4 versus quartile 1 of baseline non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio (HR 1.46 [95% CI 1.08–1.98], 1.51 [1.12–2.03], and 2.16 [1.62–2.88], P_trend < 0.001). As compared with stable non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio during follow-up, an absolute gain in non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio was associated with increased risk of T2DM (HR 1.67 [95% CI 1.25–2.24] for quartile 3 and 2.00 [1.52–2.61] for quartile 4). A relative increase in non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio was also associated with increased risk of T2DM (HR 1.56 [95% CI 1.19–2.04] for quartile 3 and 1.97 [1.49–2.60] for quartile 4). Subgroup analyses showed that the association of non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio with T2DM risk remained consistent.ConclusionsIncreased non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio is associated with increased risk of incident T2DM among rural Chinese adults, so the index may be an important indicator for identifying individuals at T2DM risk.     

女性高血压人群血脂水平与缺血性卒中的相关性

目的 探讨女性高血压人群血脂水平与缺血性卒中的关系。方法对3607例女性原发性高血压病患者进行流行病学调查和实验室检查,通过Logistic回归获得各类血脂水平对缺血性卒中的风险率及95％可信区间（a）。结果调整各种混杂因素后,非高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（non-HDL-C）和总胆固醇与高密度脂蛋白胆固醇比率（TC／HDL—C）与缺血性卒中显著相关,OR分别为1．253（95％CI,1．039～1．512）和1．594（95％C1,1．267～2．006）。结论non-HDL和TC／HDL—C是女性高血压人群缺血性卒中独立的预测因子。     

Association of the ApoB/ApoA-I ratio with stroke risk: Findings from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS)

Background and aimsStudies on associations of apolipoprotein B (ApoB), apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) and the ApoB/ApoA-I ratio with stroke risk are scarce. We aimed to prospectively examine the associations of the ApoB/ApoA-I ratio and other lipid profiles with the risk of stroke using data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS).Methods and resultsA total of 7318 participants without stroke at baseline in 2009 were included in the final analysis and followed for a median of 6.1 years. The serum lipid profiles including total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), ApoA-I, and ApoB were measured at baseline. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate the associations between these parameters and stroke risk. The ApoB/ApoA-I ratio was positively associated with incident stroke, yielding adjusted hazard ratio (HR) of 1.32 (95% CI: 1.09–1.59, P = 0.004). In comparison, ratio of ApoB and ApoA-I containing lipoproteins, the non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratio, possessed relatively weaker association with incident stroke (HR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.01–1.52, P = 0.036). Furthermore, the risk associations for the ApoB/ApoA-I and non-HDL-C/HDL-C ratios were prominent among those participants aged >51, body mass index ≤23, or female. There were no significant associations of other lipids and their ratios with the stroke risk.ConclusionsHigher ApoB/ApoA-I ratio was associated with an increased risk of stroke. Our findings suggest that the ApoB/ApoA-I ratio may serve as a better risk indicator of stroke than other lipid profiles and their ratios.     

非高密度脂蛋白胆固醇及基质金属蛋白酶3对老年高血压患者急性冠脉综合征发生的影响

目的研究血清非高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(non-HDL-C)及基质金属蛋白酶3 (MMP3)对老年高血压患者急性冠脉综合征(ACS)发病的影响。方法 2016年1月一2017年12月,收集60岁以上高血压患者住院当天生化检测样本,检测MMP3、总胆固醇(TC)、三酰甘油(TG)、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)、载脂蛋白A1 (Apo A1)、载脂蛋白B (Apo B)及脂蛋白a [Lp (a)]水平。并根据是否发生ACS,将患者分为ACS组和非ACS组,分析non-HDL-C和MMP3水平对ACS发病的影响。结果 391例患者年龄60~105岁,平均(75.8±11.7)岁,其中ACS组179例、非ACS组212例。ACS组患者年龄大于非ACS组(P=0.000);男性患者占比及合并糖尿病者多于非ACS组。Logistic回归分析发现,年龄、性别、TG、non-HDL-C、MMP3、是否糖尿病及低HDL-C是ACS发病的独立危险因素。Logistic逐步回归分析发现,高龄(OR=1.030,P=0.008)、non-HDL-C升高(OR=0.342,P=0.006)、MMP3 升高(OR=1.003,P=0.049)及糖尿病患者(OR=2.094,P<0.001) ACS 发生风险大。结论 non-HDL-C 和 MMP3可能是影响老年高血压患者ACS发病的危险因素。

41-month follow-up of risk factors correlated with new coronary events in 708 elderly patients

A prospective study correlated coronary risk factors with new coronary events in 192 elderly men and 516 elderly women, mean age 82 +/- 8 years. Follow-up was 41 +/- 6 months (range 24-44). Coronary events (myocardial infarction, primary ventricular fibrillation, and sudden cardiac death) occurred in 64 of 192 men (33%) and in 149 of 516 women (29%), P not significant. Using univariate analysis, significant risk factors for coronary events were antecedent coronary artery disease, cigarette smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, serum total cholesterol (TC) greater than or equal to 200 mg/dL and greater than or equal to 250 mg/dL, serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) less than 35 mg/dL, and serum TC/HDL-C greater than or equal to 6.5 in men and women, and obesity in women. Using multivariate analysis, significant risk factors for coronary events were age, antecedent coronary artery disease, cigarette smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and serum TC in men and women and serum HDL-C and serum triglycerides in women. Using univariate analysis, significant risk factors for coronary events in men and women with antecedent coronary artery disease were cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus, serum TC greater than or equal to 250 mg/dL, and serum TC/HDL-C greater than or equal to 6.5. Using multivariate analysis, significant risk factors for coronary events in men and women with antecedent coronary artery disease were age, cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus, serum TC, serum HDL-C, and serum triglycerides.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Association between plasma lipids, and apolipoproteins and coronary artery disease: a cross-sectional study in a low-risk Korean population

BACKGROUND: Due to the lower level of the traditional lipid profiles in Koreans than in the series of patients from the western countries, the need to investigate other lipid parameters to help identify the individuals at high risk of CAD has been emphasized. AIM AND METHODS: To investigate whether apolipoprotein B (apo B), apolipoprotein A-I (apo A-I) and their ratio give additional information to the traditional lipid risk factors for discriminating the individuals at high-risk for coronary artery disease (CAD), 544 subjects, who met the lipid criteria of total cholesterol (TC) <230 mg/dl, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) <120 mg/dl and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) >40 mg/dl were recruited. Patients were considered to be CAD(+) if they had > or =50% stenosis in at least one coronary artery. RESULTS: In men, TC and apo B/apo A-I ratio were significantly different between groups with and without CAD after adjusting for age and diabetes (P = 0.037 and 0.035), and in women, triglyceride (TG), HDL-C and apo B/apo A-I ratio were significantly different after adjusting for age, diabetes and smoking status (P = 0.006, 0.007 and 0.030, respectively). In the lowest quartile of TC, TG and LDL-C, and the highest quartile of HDL-C, only apo B/apo A-I ratio was associated with CAD in both men and women. The only variable showing a significant difference between patients with and without CAD was apo B/apo A-I ratio. In models assessing whether apolipoproteins give additional information to traditional lipid risk factors, HDL-C, LDL-C, apo B/apo A-I ratio and in women but not in men, TG and apo B were all independent markers for the presence of CAD. Among the nontraditional lipid factors, only apo B/apo A-I ratio showed its additional value for identifying the presence of CAD. CONCLUSION: Apo B/apo A-I ratio is the only variable that differentiates the patients with CAD from those without and, furthermore, gives additional information to that supplied by traditional lipid risk factors in a low-risk Korean population.

Is plasma oxidized low-density lipoprotein, measured with the widely used antibody 4E6, an independent predictor of coronary heart disease among U.S. men and women?

OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to examine whether circulating oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) is a predictor of coronary heart disease (CHD) independent of lipid markers and to compare oxLDL, apolipoprotein B100 (apoB), and total cholesterol (TC)/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio as predictors of CHD. BACKGROUND: Measurement of circulating oxLDL with antibody 4E6, has been widely used in many studies; however, few large prospective studies have examined whether this marker is a predictor of CHD independent of lipids and compared oxLDL with other important lipid predictors. METHODS: After 6 years of follow-up among 18,140 men from the HPFS (Health Professionals Follow-up Study) and 8 years among 32,826 women from the Nurses' Health Study who provided blood samples at baseline, we identified incident nonfatal myocardial infarction or fatal CHD in 266 men and 235 women. Each case was matched with two control subjects by age, smoking, and time of blood draw. The oxLDL was measured via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with antibody 4E6 against oxidized apoB. RESULTS: Among both men and women, oxLDL was significantly related to risk of CHD in multivariate analysis before adjustment for any lipid markers. However, when oxLDL, LDL cholesterol, HDL-C, and triglycerides were mutually adjusted, oxLDL was no longer predictive. When oxLDL and apoB were mutually adjusted, only apoB was predictive of CHD. Similar results were found when oxLDL and TC/HDL-C ratio were mutually adjusted. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that circulating oxLDL, measured with antibody 4E6, is not an independent overall predictor of CHD after adjustment of lipid markers and is less predictive in development of CHD than apoB and TC/HDL-C ratio.     

Prevalence and risk factors of hypercholesterolemia among Thai men and women receiving health examinations

The purpose of our study was to evaluate risk factors for hypercholesterolemia and correlates of serum lipid concentrations in Thai men and women. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 1392 patients (380 men and 1012 women) who received health examinations during July 1999 - February 2000 at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) and high density lipoprotein- cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations were determined using standard procedures. Logistic and linear regression procedures were used to assess the association of several covariates with risk for hypercholesterolemia. The results reveal that the prevalences of hypercholesterolemia (TC > or =200 mg/dl) among men and women were 66.8% and 66.0%, respectively. Among men, hypercholesterolemia was associated with older adults (OR = 3.26), and previous alcohol consumption (OR = 2.05). Risk factors for women included advanced age (OR = 3.19), and a family history of dyslipidemia (OR = 1.59). Serum TC and TG were positively associated with age and previous alcohol consumption among men. Among women, TC and TG were strongly associated with age, body mass index (BMI) and family history of dyslipidemia. In men and women, HDL-C was inversely associated with BMI. More emphasis should be placed on understanding the epidemiology of hypercholesterolemia and other dyslipidemias in Thai men and women. More information regarding risk factors will aid in the development of effective health promotion and disease prevention efforts.
