Why the study?
Remnant cholesterol is an established independent cardiovascular risk factor, but its relationship with arterial stiffness measured by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was unknown.
Is remnant cholesterol concentration associated with arterial stiffness measured by baPWV in a community-based population?
Population

RC independently associated with higher baPWV beyond other lipids; hypothesis-generating for RC-targeted interventions.
Is remnant cholesterol concentration associated with arterial stiffness measured by baPWV in a community-based population?
Remnant cholesterol and triglycerides are more strongly associated with arterial stiffness than other lipid indices, suggesting their importance in cardiovascular risk assessment.
