Association between serum non-HDL-C level and carotid atherosclerosis
Abstract：Objective To study the association between serum non-HDL-C level and carotid atherosclerosis (CAS).Methods The clinical data of 1209 patients with their age＞60 years admitted to our hospital for physical examination were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into mild CAS group (n=613) and moderate-severe CAS group (n=596).Their clinical data (sex,age,hypertension,DM and cigaret smoking) were recorded,their serum HDL-C and LDL-C levels were measured and analyzed.Results The age was significantly older,the number of famels and cigaret smokers was significantly greater,the incidence of hypertension and DM and the serum non-HDL-C level were significantly higher in moderate-severe CAS group than in mild CAS group (P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum non-HDL-C level and DM were the independent risk factors for CAS.Conclusion The serum non-HDL-C level is positively associated with CAS and is thus an independent risk factor for CAS.
