      <i>Background</i> - The relevance of blood lipid concentrations to long-term incidence of cardiovascular disease and the relevance of lipid-lowering therapy for cardiovascular disease outcomes is unclear. We investigated the cardiovascular disease risk associated with the full spectrum of bloodstream non-HDL cholesterol concentrations. We also created an easy-to-use tool to estimate the long-term ...

      Background: Biomarkers may contribute to improved cardiovascular risk estimation. Glycated hemoglobin A<sub>1c</sub> (HbA<sub>1c</sub>) is used to monitor the quality of diabetes treatment. Its strength of association with cardiovascular outcomes in the general population remains uncertain. This study aims to assess the association of HbA<sub>1c</sub> with cardiovascular outcomes in the general ...
