Serum lipoprotein(a) concentrations in presumably healthy Polish subjects in relation to age, sex, and cardiometabolic risk factors
Lipoprotein(a) concentrations increase with age, especially after 50 in women and 60 in men, and are significantly associated with LDL-C. Rising %Lp(a)/apoB and %Lp(a)-C/LDL-C alongside falling apoB and LDL-C suggest greater atherogenicity in older individuals, particularly men. These findings support including Lp(a) in lipid profile for better cardiovascular risk assessment.
