Non-HDL-cholesterol is a dominant independent predictor of coronary heart disease development in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes.
Fumisawa et al. (2012) conducted a case-control in Type 2 Diabetes (n=64). Elevated non-HDL-cholesterol vs. Lower non-HDL-cholesterol was evaluated on Development of coronary heart disease (acute myocardial infarction and/or coronary artery bypass) (OR 3.07, 95% CI 1.33-7.10, p=0.009). Elevated non-HDL-cholesterol was the most dominant independent predictor for the development of coronary heart disease in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes (OR 3.07).
