Implication

No immediate change to lipid targets in octogenarians; leaves open whether favorable profiles confer survival advantage.

Structured PICO

Population

782 subjects aged 70 years and over (91.4% response rate) registered with the sole health center in a rural New Zealand town, divided into four groups based on age (70-79 vs ≥80) and presence/absence of clinical CHD.

Outcome

Mean values and distributions of cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, apolipoproteins, triglycerides, insulin, glucose, anthropometric measurements, and psychosocial variablessurrogate

Survivors aged 80 and older without clinical CHD are characterized by higher HDL cholesterol and apo A1 levels, and tighter homeostatic control of metabolic variables.
