      <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 ...

Goya; Watanabe, Masafumi; Wild, Philipp S.; Yao, Yao; Zeng, Yi; Ziegler, Andreas; Blankenberg, Stefan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      BACKGROUND - Five modifiable risk factors are associated with cardiovascular disease and death from any cause. Studies using individual-level data to evaluate the regional and sex-specific prevalence of the risk factors and their effect on these outcomes are lacking.<p> <p>METHODS - We pooled and harmonized individual-level data from 112 cohort studies conducted in 34 countries and 8 geographic ...

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-03-24)
      BACKGROUND: Although myocardial infarction (MI) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are frequent comorbidities and share common cardiovascular risk factors, the direction and strength of the association of the risk factors with disease onset, subsequent disease incidence, and mortality are not completely understood.<p> <p>METHODS AND RESULTS: In pooled multivariable Cox regression analyses, we examined ...
