Key result
Blood lipid levels showed significant tracking from adolescence to adulthood over 23 years, with adjusted tracking coefficients of 0.58 for total cholesterol, 0.39 for triglycerides, and 0.51 for HDL.
Cohort (n=432)
Effect estimate: Tracking coefficient 0.58 (95% CI 0.54-0.63)
p-value: p=<0.008
Blood lipid levels in adolescence significantly track into adulthood in a Korean cohort, supporting the importance of early lipid measurement to identify high-risk individuals.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Lipid tracking from adolescence supports early monitoring; leaves open whether interventions alter adult trajectories.
Lee et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Blood lipid tracking (n=432). Adolescent blood lipid levels was evaluated on Adjusted tracking coefficient for total cholesterol from adolescence to adulthood (Tracking coefficient 0.58, 95% CI 0.54-0.63, p=<0.008). Blood lipid levels showed significant tracking from adolescence to adulthood over 23 years, with adjusted tracking coefficients of 0.58 for total cholesterol, 0.39 for triglycerides, and 0.51 for HDL.
