Calibration of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Values From the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Data, 2008 to 2015

Abstract

Since the KNHANES HDL-C values (2008-2015) showed substantial positive biases compared with the CDC reference method values, we suggested using calibration equations to correct KNHANES data from these years. Since the necessity for correcting the biases depends on the characteristics of research topics, each researcher should determine whether to calibrate KNHANES HDL-C data or not for each study.
