Do fasting triglycerides and related indices predict ischemic cardiovascular disease in Japanese community dwellers?
Fasting triglycerides and the cardiometabolic index are independent predictors of ischemic cardiovascular disease in a Japanese community cohort, even after adjusting for LDL-C.
Fasting TG was an independent predictor for ischemic CVD incidence after adjusting for LDL-C in Japanese community dwellers with TG ＜400 mg/dL. Among TG, TG/HDL-C, and the CMI, the CMI could be the most powerful predictor for ischemic CVD.
