Increased Small Low-Density Lipoprotein Particle Number: A Prominent Feature of the Metabolic Syndrome in the Framingham Heart Study
Abstract
Background— Levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) are frequently not elevated in individuals with the metabolic syndrome (MetSyn). However, the atherogenic potential of LDL may depend on the number and size of LDL particles in addition to the cholesterol content of LDL. Methods and Results— We examined the sex-specific cross-sectional relations of small LDL particle number (determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) to the presence of MetSyn and its components in 2993 Framingham Heart Study participants (mean age, 51 years; 53% women) without cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the relations of small LDL particle number to CVD incidence in people with MetSyn. The MetSyn (≥3 of 5 traits as defined by the National Cholesterol Education Adult Treatment Panel III) was present in 27% of men and 17% of women. In both sexes, small LDL particle number increased from 0 to 5 MetSyn traits, a pattern partly accounted for by strong correlations between small LDL particle number and serum triglycerides ( r =0.61, P <0.0001) and HDL-C ( r =−0.55, P <0.0001). Compared with participants without the MetSyn, those with the MetSyn had a higher CVD event rate. However, among participants with the MetSyn, CVD rates were similar for groups with an elevated versus a lower number of small LDL particles (defined by the sex-specific median). Conclusions— Small LDL particle number is elevated in the MetSyn, increases with the number of MetSyn components, and most prominently is correlated with triglycerides and HDL-C. Whereas increased small LDL particle number identified the MetSyn with high sensitivity, a higher small LDL particle number was not associated with greater CVD event rates in people with the MetSyn.

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.
