Abstract:

Objective To confirm that non-high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (non-HDL-C) is an effective clinical indicator to assess the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and lipid-lowering therapy regardless of glucose level. Methods A total of 6 341 subjects were selected from large-scale clinical survey of the Department of Endocrinology, Beijing Tongren Hospital in 2007. Fasting blood samples were collected from each subject and were tested for total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), HDL-C, triglyceride (TG) and non-HDL-C was calculated by subtracting TC from HDL-C. The subjects were divided into euglycemia group and hyperglycemia group according to fasting glucose level and the other parameters of the 2 groups were compared. Results TC, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG and non-HDL-C in hyperglycemia group were higher than that in euglycemia group. A linear positive correlation was found between non-HDL-C and LDL-C, non-HDL-C and TG. Conclusion non-HDL-C is an effective clinical indicator to assess the cardiovascular decease risk and lipid-lowering therapy.

Key words: non-high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia
