Lower body mass index is associated with the achievement of target LDL in patients using PCSK9 inhibitors in Taiwan

Lower BMI at baseline was associated with a higher likelihood of achieving LDL-C < 70 mg/dl after 12 weeks of PCSK9 inhibitor therapy. These findings support personalized strategies for optimizing cholesterol management in statin-intolerant patients while further investigations are required.

Abstract

Lower BMI at baseline was associated with a higher likelihood of achieving LDL-C < 70 mg/dl after 12 weeks of PCSK9 inhibitor therapy. These findings support personalized strategies for optimizing cholesterol management in statin-intolerant patients while further investigations are required.
