Abstract

Triglycerides make up the overwhelming proportion of dietary fat consumed in the United States and other industrialized nations. Triglyceride elevation is directly associated with relative weight and age in both sexes, oral contraceptive use in women, and the development of diabetes mellitus. Triglyceride elevations are a highly significant independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) in women. They appear to be important in men with low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (less than 40 ml/dl). Dangerously high levels of triglyceride are associated with a high total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio, which is an excellent indicator of CHD risk in both sexes. Individuals with elevated triglycerides should be considered at risk for CHD unless the total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio is under 3.5. In practice, however, only about 10% of individuals with elevated triglycerides prove to have such low total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratios.

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.
