Nonfasting triglycerides and risk of myocardial infarction, ischemic heart disease, and death in men and women
BG Nordestgaard, M Benn, P Schnohr… - Jama, 2007 - jamanetwork.com
ContextElevated nonfasting triglycerides indicate the presence of remnant lipoproteins,
which may promote atherosclerosis. ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis that very high levels of
nonfasting triglycerides predict myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic heart disease (IHD), and
death. Design, Setting, and ParticipantsA prospective cohort study of 7587 women and 6394
men from the general population of Copenhagen, Denmark, aged 20 to 93 years, followed
up from baseline (1976-1978) until 2004. Main Outcome MeasuresHazard ratios (HRs) for …
