Comparison between Fasting and Non-Fasting Cut-Off Values of Triglyceride in Diagnosing High Triglyceride in Chinese Hypertensive Outpatients.

ABSTRACT: Background: Hypertension (HBP) often occurs together with hypertriglyceridemia which indicates elevated triglyceride (TG) and remnant cholesterol (RC) levels. Non-fasting (i.e., postprandial) blood lipid test after a daily meal has been recommended by the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS). However, little is known about the difference between fasting and non-fasting cut-off values in assessing high TG (HTG) and high RC (HRC) in HBP outpatients. Methods: 225 Chinese outpatients with HBP, including 119 fasting patients (i.e., fasting group) and 106 non-fasting patients (i.e., non-fasting group) were enrolled in this study. Non-fasting levels of blood lipids at 2 h after a daily breakfast were also tested in 33 patients among the fasting group. Venous blood samples were col
