S Bansal, JE Buring, N Rifai, S Mora, FM Sacks… - Jama, 2007 - jamanetwork.com
ContextThe association of triglycerides with incident cardiovascular disease remains
controversial. Although triglyceride levels are typically obtained in the fasting state,
postprandial hypertriglyceridemia may play an important role in atherosclerosis. ObjectiveTo
determine the association of triglyceride levels (fasting vs nonfasting) and risk of future
cardiovascular events. Design, Setting, and ParticipantsProspective study of 26 509 initially
healthy US women (20 118 fasting and 6391 nonfasting) participating in the Women's …
