Abstract

Background: Limited studies have involved new‐onset hypertriglyceridemia, and this study was to evaluate the associations of hypertriglyceridemia onset age with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and all‐cause mortality. Methods and Results: This population‐based prospective study enrolled 98 779 participants free of hypertriglyceridemia and CVD at baseline in the Kailuan study initiated in June 2006. All participants underwent health checkups biennially until December 2017, and a total of 13 832 participants developed new hypertriglyceridemia. A 1:1 age‐ (±1 year) and sex‐matched analysis was applied to select control subject of the same year for each new‐onset case. There were 13 056 case‐control pairs included. The total follow‐up time was 179 409 person‐years, with a median follow‐up time of 7.0 years. Primary outcomes were CVD and all‐cause mortality, and hazard ratios were estimated after adjustment for baseline characteristics. A total of 807 incident CVD events and 600 all‐cause mortality events were documented. After multivariable adjustment, participants with hypertriglyceridemia onset age <45 years had the highest risk compared with matched controls, with hazard ratios of 2.61 (95% CI, 1.59–4.27) for CVD, 4.69 (95% CI, 2.34–9.40) for all‐cause mortality, 2.23 (95% CI, 0.67–7.38) for myocardial infarction, and 2.68 (95% CI, 1.56–4.62) for stroke. The risk estimates gradually decreased with each decade increase in the onset age of hypertriglyceridemia. Conclusions: Among Chinese adults, hypertriglyceridemia identified at an earlier onset age was associated with higher risks for CVD and all‐cause mortality.

  • Hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia are highly prevalent among individuals with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

    “Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) and mixed dyslipidemia are highly prevalent among individuals with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and are recognized risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, and acute pancreatitis (Gaudet et al., 2024; Zhou et al., 2022; Kessler et al., 2025; Nawaz et al., 2015).”

    From Efficacy and safety of small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapies for hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis (2026) · cites this paper as Zhou et al., 2022

    The Methods (Assessment of Covariates; page unavailable) include elevated triglycerides in the definition of metabolic syndrome, and the Discussion (page unavailable) identifies obesity as a risk factor for hypertriglyceridemia. The paper does not establish that hypertriglyceridemia is highly prevalent across all four listed conditions, or address the prevalence of mixed dyslipidemia or specifically nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

    From Efficacy and safety of small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapies for hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia: an updated systematic review and meta-analysis (2026) · cites this paper as Zhou et al., 2022

    The Discussion (page not supplied) links hypertriglyceridemia to atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular disease risk. The paper does not establish the broader claim that both hypertriglyceridemia and mixed dyslipidemia are risk factors for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or acute pancreatitis; pancreatitis appears as a baseline condition in the Methods and Results, not an outcome of that risk analysis.

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.
