non-obese group, and non-DM group. Although we found a significant interaction between cholesterol levels and age, the difference in HR was small (HR = 1.34 in age < 65 years and HR = 1.27 in age ≥ 65 years) and might not be ...
We conducted a genome-wide scan using variance components linkage analysis to localize quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) influencing triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and total cholesterol (TC) levels in 3,071 subjects from 459 families...
OBJECTIVE: To explore whether an interaction between smoking and serum total cholesterol (TC) and/or decreased levels of serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) exists for any major subtype of cardiovascular disease. DESIGN: An individual participant overview of 34 cohort studies. SETTING:...
Roughly one-half of adults in the United States have elevated cholesterol levels (34). Each 5% reduction in LDL cholesterol in the population would decrease the number of people who qualify for drug therapy by 5 to 7 million (34,35). Therefore, dietary interventions that produce modest but ...
was no knowledge about the cholesterol variability associated with cognitive decline in China. Therefore, we used a national representative database, the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS), to investigate cognitive function among people with high variability in cholesterol levels. ...

The BMI was calculated as the body weight (kg) divided by the height squared (m2). We defined obesity as a BMI ≥30 kg/m2 and analyzed it as a dichotomous variable. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to a modified version of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Pa...
by 20–30 years due to persistent exposure to elevated blood cholesterol levels since birth [4]. Treatment with lipid-lowering therapies initiated at an early age can ameliorate cardiovascular morbidity and mortality up to tenfold [1]. However, presently, nine out of ten individuals born world...
The American Heart Association defines cardiovascular health (CVH) as the presence of four health behaviors: smoking status, BMI, physical activity, and diet status, and three health factors: blood glucose levels, total cholesterol (TC), and BP [24]. Due to the scant research on the relationsh...
