LDL size and risk of coronary heart disease in elderly men and women.

Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology - 1 Nov 1999

Abstract excerpt

A predominance of small, dense, low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles has consistently been associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) in young and middle-aged subjects in cross-sectional studies. Recently, 3 prospective, case-control studies showed that decreased LDL size is a predictor of CHD in middle-aged subjects. However, it is not known whether decreased LDL size is mainly associated with premature CHD...
