Abstract
Background: The study utilized the remnant cholesterol (RC) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio as a lipidemia indicator. Assessing its long-term impact on cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is crucial for primary prevention.
Methods: 84,380 participants were enrolled in the prospective cohort. Participants were classified into low, medium, and high levels based on baseline RC/HDL-C levels at the 50th percentile and 90th percentile. Participants were followed until December 31, 2023. Calculate the incidence density of ASCVD for each group. The time-dependent Cox proportional hazards model was utilized to calculate the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for ASCVD risk among different groups.
Results: The study included 42,181, 33,739, and 8460 participants in the low, medium, and high levels respectively. A median follow-up of 16.92 years, 8397 ASCVD cases were identified. The 1000 person-years incidence density and 95% CIs for ASCVD were 5.86 (5.67, 6.05) in the low level, 6.92 (6.70, 7.15) in the medium level, and 8.85 (8.35, 9.39) in the high level. Compared to the low level, the Cox model showed that the HRs and 95% CIs for ASCVD were 1.09 (1.04, 1.14) and 1.23 (1.15, 1.32), respectively in medium and high levels.
Conclusion: Higher RC/HDL-C level was significantly associated with an increased risk of ASCVD. Including the RC/HDL-C in lipid evaluation can reduce the onset of ASCVD.
期刊介绍:
Nutrition & Metabolism publishes studies with a clear focus on nutrition and metabolism with applications ranging from nutrition needs, exercise physiology, clinical and population studies, as well as the underlying mechanisms in these aspects.
The areas of interest for Nutrition & Metabolism encompass studies in molecular nutrition in the context of obesity, diabetes, lipedemias, metabolic syndrome and exercise physiology. Manuscripts related to molecular, cellular and human metabolism, nutrient sensing and nutrient–gene interactions are also in interest, as are submissions that have employed new and innovative strategies like metabolomics/lipidomics or other omic-based biomarkers to predict nutritional status and metabolic diseases.
Key areas we wish to encourage submissions from include:
-how diet and specific nutrients interact with genes, proteins or metabolites to influence metabolic phenotypes and disease outcomes;
-the role of epigenetic factors and the microbiome in the pathogenesis of metabolic diseases and their influence on metabolic responses to diet and food components;
-how diet and other environmental factors affect epigenetics and microbiota; the extent to which genetic and nongenetic factors modify personal metabolic responses to diet and food compositions and the mechanisms involved;
-how specific biologic networks and nutrient sensing mechanisms attribute to metabolic variability.
