High cholesterol and cardiac health

Ohh a paper by Norwitz, and Feldman... you know it will be nuanced!

FYI I can't remove the chronic downvoters on lemmy.world, but the !carnivore@lemm.ee has automation to remove anyone who only participates negatively

Conclusions: These data suggest that, in contrast to the typical pattern of dyslipidemia, greater LDL cholesterol elevation on a CRD tends to occur in the context of otherwise low cardiometabolic risk.

It is interesting how the LDL hyper responders don't have metabolic syndrome!

Really nice to see the raw data published to github! This should be the standard for research

Observational study with online questionnaires, so this is lower on the evidence pyramid, but a good place to generate hypothesis and do stronger science from.

I need to do a writeup of these referenced papers

1. Boizel R, Benhamou PY, Lardy B, Laporte F, Foulon T, Halimi S. Ratio of triglycerides to HDL cholesterol is an indicator of LDL particle size in patients with type 2 diabetes and normal HDL cholesterol levels. Diabetes Care 2000;23(11):1679–85.

2. Moriyama K. The association between the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and low-density lipoprotein subclasses. Intern Med 2020;59(21):2661–9.
