Are elevated remnant cholesterol and plasma triglycerides associated with increased mortality?
General population
Elevated remnant cholesterol (≥1 mmol/L [39 mg/dL]) and plasma triglycerides (≥2 mmol/L [177 mg/dL])
Mortality from cardiovascular and other causes, and mortality from cancerhard clinical
Elevated remnant cholesterol and plasma triglycerides are associated with a two-fold increase in cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality.
Remnant cholesterol of ≥1 mmol/L (39 mg/dL), present in 22% of the population, and plasma triglycerides of ≥2 mmol/L (177 mg/dL), present in 28% of the population, were associated with two-fold mortality from cardiovascular and other causes, but not from cancer. This novel finding should be confirmed in other cohorts.
