Abdominal obesity with hypertriglyceridaemia, lipoprotein(a) and apolipoprotein <scp>A</scp>‐<scp>I</scp> determine marked cardiometabolic risk

Abstract

HtgW is associated with excess inflammatory markers, is predicted in women paradoxically by lower circulating Lp(a) and is associated in both sexes with marked excess cardiometabolic risk to which high apoA-I/HDL-C ratio contributes additively. These findings are consistent in women with apoA-I being oxidized via aggregation to Lp(a).
