      <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 ...

      To assess whether anthropometric measures (body mass index [BMI], waist-hip ratio [WHR], and estimated fat mass [EFM]) are independently associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and to assess their added prognostic value compared with serum total-cholesterol. The study population comprised 109,509 individuals (53% men) from the MORGAM-Project, aged 19–97 years, without established ...
