1/5 Triglyceride and HDL-C Dyslipidemia and Risks of Coronary Heart Disease and Ischemic Stroke by Glycemic Dysregulation Status: The Strong Heart Study Jennifer S. Lee, Po-Yin Chang, Ying Zhang, Jorge R. Kizer, Lyle G. Best, Barbara V. Howard Diabetes Care 2017 Jan; dc161958. https://doi.org/10.2337/dc16-1958 Previous Next Article Info & Metrics PDF Abstract OBJECTIVE High triglyceride (TG) levels and low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. It is unclear whether this relationship depends on glycemic dysregulation, sex, or LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) level. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 3,216 participants (40% men, 41% with diabetes) who were free of cardiovascular disease at baseline in a community-based, prospective cohort of American Indians (median follow-up 17.7 years). Cox models estimated hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs for incident ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease (CHD) in relation to combined TG and HDL-C status, where a fasting TG level 150 mg/dl was high and a fasting HDL-C level <40 mg/dl for men (<50 mg/dl for women) was low. Models included age, sex, BMI, smoking, diabetes, fasting LDL-C level, antihypertensive medications, physical activity, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio. RESULTS Participants with high TG and low HDL levels had a 1.32-fold greater HR (95% CI 1.06 1.64) for CHD than those with normal TG and normal HDL levels. It was observed in participants with diabetes, but not in those without diabetes, that high TG plus low HDL levels were associated with a 1.54-fold greater HR (95% CI 1.15 2.06) for CHD (P value for interaction = 0.003) and a 2.13-fold greater HR (95% CI 1.06 4.29) for stroke (P value for interaction = 0.060). High TG and low HDL level was associated with CHD risk in participants with a LDL-C level of 130 mg/dl, but this was not observed in those participants with lower LDL-C levels. Sex did not appear to modify these associations.
2/5 CONCLUSIONS Adults with both high TG and low HDL-C, particularly those with diabetes, have increased risks of incident CHD and stroke. In particular, those with an LDL-C level 130 mg/dl may have an increased risk of incident stroke. Received September 10, 2016.
