Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: There is an unmet need for a straightforward and cost-effective assessment of multiple lipoprotein risk factors for vascular diseases.
AIMS: 1) To study the relation of various lipoprotein lipid and apolipoprotein (apo) measures on the Friedewald inputs, i.e. plasma triglycerides (TG), cholesterol (TC), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). 2) To build up regression models for the appropriate measures based solely on the Friedewald inputs.
METHODS: Data were available for 1,775 plasma samples, from which very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and HDL were also isolated by ultracentrifugation. For HDL(2)-C and apolipoproteins, 343 and 247 samples were available, respectively.
RESULTS: Accurate models were obtained for VLDL-TG (cross-validation r=0.98), LDL-C (r=0.91), HDL(2)-C (r=0.92), apoA-I (r=0.92), and apoB (r=0.95). A semi-quantitative model was obtained for IDL-C (r=0.78). Due to the anticipated role of IDL-C in atherosclerosis, it was still kept within the accepted models and pursued further. The associations of the estimates with premature deaths were studied in 4,084 patients with type 1 diabetes. The associations of IDL-C and LDL-C were markedly different, the best predictors of mortality being apoB, apoB to apoA-I ratio, and IDL-C.
CONCLUSIONS: The new models allow identification of clinically relevant lipoprotein profiles with no added cost to the conventional Friedewald formula.
