Elevated remnant cholesterol and triglycerides are predictors of increased total mortality in a primary health care population of 327,347 patients
In this study, high levels of all the six lipids as well as low levels of total cholesterol, LDL-C, non-HDL-C and HDL-C were associated with higher all-cause mortality in a primary health care population. Further research is needed, to consider if the current lipid lowering guidelines are appropriate and if more focus on remnant cholesterol levels should be applied.
