Small dense low-density lipoprotein as biomarker in the elderly
Lipid and apolipoprotein concentrations of the elderly were high compared to the recommended target values. In addition, lipid and apolipoprotein baseline concentrations were not higher in the ASCVD group than in the control group. Our results indicated that sdLDL-c is as good a marker as ApoB and better than LDL-c.
