Abstract

A high prevalence of metabolic syndrome along with increasing rates of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and elevated triglycerides (TGs) is shown in Korean adults. Little is known about the associations between macronutrient intake and lipid abnormalities in the Asian population, whose major energy source is carbohydrates. We examined the associations of dietary carbohydrate and fat intakes with lipid abnormalities in Korean adults. A total of 14,301 adults (5715 men and 8586 women) aged ≥30 years with no diagnosis and treatment for diabetes, hypertension, or dyslipidemia were selected from the 2008 to 2012 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. From the 24-hour recall data, dietary carbohydrate and fat intakes were estimated. Multivariate logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios for lipid abnormalities, that is, elevated total cholesterol (TC), low HDL-C, high TC to HDL-C ratio, elevated non-HDL-C, elevated LDL cholesterol (LDL-C), and elevated TG across quintiles of dietary carbohydrate and fat intakes. Percentage of energy from carbohydrate was positively associated with elevated TG and low HDL-C but inversely associated with elevated TC and elevated LDL-C in both men and wom...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
