Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To assess the relationship between commonly used lipid indices and LDL peak particle diameter (LDL-PPD) in a large cohort of 1955 subjects. DESIGN AND METHODS: Four statistical methods were used for comparison: correlation, concordance analysis, kappa statistics and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. RESULTS: Plasma triglyceride (TG) levels, TG/HDL-C, LDL-C/apoB, total cholesterol...
