The importance of triglycerides: Results from the prospective cardiovascular M�nster (PROCAM) study
Abstract
In the PROCAM study hypertriglyceridaemia was much more common among men (18.6%) than women (4.2%). Prevalence increased with age in women, but remained nearly constant at about 20% in men aged 35 years or more. In a multiple regression analysis a strong negative correlation between triglycerides and HDL cholesterol was found. A positive relationship was observed with cholesterol, blood glucose, factor VIIc, and PAI-1 in both sexes. Only in men, triglycerides are positively correlated with Apo A-I, body mass index, cigarette smoking, and alcohol consumption. Postmenopausal women showed higher triglyceride levels than premenopausal women. No independent relationships were observed to age, blood pressure, Lp(a), Apo A-II, Apo B, AT-III, protein C, fibrinogen, and oral contraceptives. A longitudinal analysis of data from 4474 male PROCAM participants aged 40-64 years with a follow-up of 4 years did not identify triglycerides as an independent risk factor, but the data suggest hypertriglyceridaemia is an additional risk factor for CHD, when excessive triglycerides coincide with a high ratio of plasma cholesterol to HDL-cholesterol and with low HDL-cholesterol values.

A serum triglyceride level of 150 mg/dl usually falls below the 75th percentile in various populations, with well-established differences between racial and ethnic groups.
“A serum triglyceride level of 150 mg/dl (1.7 mmol/liter) usually falls below the 75th percentile in various populations, although there have been well-established differences identified between racial and ethnic groups (6 -9).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
