We used carotid ultrasounds to detect plaque at baseline and follow‐up in 2006 to 2009 (median follow‐up=5.5 had low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol ≥160 mg/dL, which is higher than the recommended threshold for lifestyle or medical interventions in young adults of 20 to 39 years old. Lipids were measured after a 12‐hour fast.

Recent data suggests that 14 modifiable factors account for 45% of the future risk of dementia. This means that controlling these risk factors in our favour should significantly reduce the future risk of dementia. Not all of these factors are created equal, and when you address these risk factors is also relevant.

IntroductionExpert consensus guidelines recommend low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) as the primary serum lipid target for recurrent stroke risk reduction. Compared with the lowest total cholesterol/HDL‐C ratio, stepwise relationships were observed with ICAS >/=2 (1.51, 0.90–2.54; 1.58; 1.06, 0.69–1.62;

Every lipoprotein particle has one APO B protein. ( **Please note the B ) When we measure APO B levels, this is what we are measuring to give an estimate of the number of cholesterol particles and the subsequent risk of cardiovascular disease. APO E is also centrally involved in cholesterol metabolism. Here’s how.
