BACKGROUND For correct interpretation of the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), the values should be comparable to reference values. We aimed to suggest a way to calibrate KNHANES HDL-C data from 2008 to 2015 to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reference method values. METHODS We deri...

PURPOSE The triglyceride-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio has recently been reported as a biomarker of cardiometabolic risk in obese children and adolescents. The purpose of this study is to describe the TG/HDL-C ratio and related factors in overweight and normal weight Korean children and to evaluate whether the high TG/HDL-C ratio is associated with insulin resistance ...

Clinical studies Indicate that levels of apolipoprotein A-l (apo A-l), the major protein moiety of the high density lipoprotein (HDL) particle, may provide more Information concerning the risk of future cardiovascular disease than do levels of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C). Therefore, the relationship of HDL-C to apo A-l levels was examined In a blraclal sample of 2849 5to 17-year-olds. The mean HDL-...

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is a lipoprotein which has anti-atherogenic property by reversing cholesterol transport from the peripheral tissues to liver. Low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) as well as high low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) is associated with the development of coronary heart diseases (CHD). Various epidemiological studies have suggested that the development of CHD increase...

Study Design: Obesity prevalence is incresing in Turkish population whose lipoprotein profile is characterised by low levels of HDL cholesterol. Our study aims to determine how obesity changes lipid profiles in Turkish women. Materials and Methods: We evaluated 2501 overweight and obese adult women. After systemic physical examination and some antropometric studies, blood samples have been anal...

conclusions in a current study based on increasing maternal age, the hdl-c level in cord blood was decreased which is an independent risk factor for cvds in adulthood. results a statistically significant negative correlation was observed between cord blood hdl-c and maternal age (r = -0.18, p <0.01). there was no relationship between other lipids and lipoproteins with maternal age. our findings...

Limited data are available about mitotane-nduced hyperlipidemia. We retrospectively analyzed lipid data in 38 patients with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) who received mitotane therapy with emphasis on HDL cholesterol (HDL-c) and clinical predictors of lipid changes. At baseline, the mean levels of HDL-c, LDL-c, and triglycerides were 53.3 mg/dL, 114.4 mg/dL, and 149 mg/dL, respectively. HDL-c,...

Few studies have yet investigated the possible association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and kidney function in elderly patients with primary hypertension. Accordingly, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between HDL-C and kidney function in elderly hypertension. A total of 14,644 elderly hypertensive subjects were enrolled in our cross-sectional...
