Key Points

  • The study aims to investigate the relationship between fasting and nonfasting triglyceride levels and cardiovascular events in women.
  • Cohort analysis of initially healthy women
  • Assessment of fasting and nonfasting triglyceride levels
  • Evaluation of traditional cardiac risk factors and insulin resistance markers
  • Nonfasting triglyceride levels were linked to increased cardiovascular events, independent of other lipids and risk factors.
  • Fasting triglyceride levels showed minimal independent association with cardiovascular events.

Abstract

In this cohort of initially healthy women, nonfasting triglyceride levels were associated with incident cardiovascular events, independent of traditional cardiac risk factors, levels of other lipids, and markers of insulin resistance; by contrast, fasting triglyceride levels showed little independent relationship.
