Cardiovascular disease risk factors are associated with conventional lipids and apolipoproteins in South African adults of African ancestry
In South African adults of African ancestry, ApoA1, ApoB and ApoB: ApoA1 levels are associated with various established CVD risk markers and suggests that these apolipoproteins may provide additional mechanistic insights beyond the conventional lipids to understand the aetiology of early cardiometabolic disease development.
