Background: Emerging evidence suggests that elevated circulating levels of HDL-C (high-
density lipoprotein cholesterol) could be linked to an increased mortality risk. However, to …

Relationship between HDL‐c and cardiovascular diseases: Beyond the role of low‐density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐c) in the development of atherosclerosis, growing evidence …

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to clarify some previous inconsistencies regarding the role of high
density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) as a CVD protective factor. METHODS: The SCORE …

Aims High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is a strong predictor of cardiovascular
mortality. This work aimed to investigate whether the presence of coronary artery disease …

Aims: There is no community-based cohort study to examine the effect of very high level of
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) on coronary heart disease (CHD) and other …

Importance Previous studies have shown lower cardiovascular risk with higher high-density
lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. However, recent data in the general population have …

Background While several lines of evidence prove that elevated concentrations of low-
density lipoproteins (LDL) causally contribute to the development of atherosclerosis and its …

Objective—The objective of this study was to examine the shape of the association between
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and mortality in a large general population …

Background The association between high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) and
coronary heart disease (CHD) events is not well described in individuals with very high …

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) contributes to reverse cholesterol transport, which is 1 of the
main explanations for the described inverse association between HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) …
