Chinese adults show a lower risk of myocardial infarction associated with LDL-C compared to Europeans.
Rate ratios for myocardial infarction in relation to LDL-C levels were significantly different between populations.
The study included over 6,000 controls and nearly 5,400 cases from two large biobanks.
Results support the implementation of tailored statin treatment guidelines based on individual risk rather than solely on LDL-C levels.
