چکیده
This article describes the association between total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol ratios and all-cause mortality in a large cohort of Americans with nearly 17 years of follow-up. Detailed actuarial life table methodology was used. It concludes that the relationship is best described as a J-shaped curve.

Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholestrol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratios are predictors of cardiovascular risk in Iranian adults: Evidence from a population-based cross-sectional study
Background: The superiority of TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios in predicting CVD risk is a matter of debates. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare TG/HDL-C and LDL-C to HDL-C ratios in predicting the risk of CVD events. Methods: In a population-based cross-sectional study, 567 representative participants aged 40 years or older were entered in the study in Babol, North of Iran. The...
متن کاملHigh-density lipoprotein and mortality before age 90 in male physicians.
BACKGROUND In cross-sectional and some cohort studies with shorter follow-up, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) has been associated with longer life. We sought to examine the relationship between HDL-C and death before age 90 in the Physicians' Health Study (PHS). METHODS AND RESULTS Of PHS enrollees who had blood collected at PHS II baseline (approximately 1997), we selected 1351 ...

Objective Dyslipidemia and insulin resistance (IR), occurring in most infertile women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes. This study aimed to assess the relationships between lipoprotein ratios and IR in PCOS women. MaterialsAndMethods Thirty six infertile women with PCOS selected based on Androgen Excess Society (AES) ...
متن کاملAbility of a biomarker-based score to predict death from circulatory disease and cancer in NHANES III
BACKGROUND A score based on serum concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and HDL cholesterol was positively associated with death from cancer, circulatory disease, and all-cause mortality. We replicated this in the third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), a US nationally representative survey conducted between 1988-1994...
