Longitudinal changes in remnant cholesterol and the risk of cardiovascular disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

The analyses of longitudinal changes in remnant cholesterol (RC) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains are limited. The objective of the study was to investigate the associations of longitudinal changes in RC with the risks of CVD and its subtypes (myocardial infarction [MI] and stroke).

Methods and results

The participants were enrolled in the Kailuan study. The RC short-term change pattern was defined by RC cutoff points according to equivalent percentiles for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol of 2.6 mmol/L at visits in 2006 and 2008. The RC long-term change pattern was defined as the RC trajectories from 2006 to 2010. Multivariate Cox proportion models were used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). The cutoff v
