Fasting and non-fasting triglycerides and risk of ischemic cardiovascular disease in Japanese men and women: The Circulatory Risk in Communities Study (CIRCS)

Abstract Background Non-fasting triglycerides were reported to have a greater impact on risk of ischemic cardiovascular events than fasting triglycerides. However, evidence from Asia, where the prevalence of dyslipidemia is generally lower, has been limited. Methods We used 1975–1986 baseline survey...

Description
Summary:Abstract Background Non-fasting triglycerides were reported to have a greater impact on risk of ischemic cardiovascular events than fasting triglycerides. However, evidence from Asia, where the prevalence of dyslipidemia is generally lower, has been limited. Methods We used 1975–1986 baseline surveys to investigate cohort data of 10,659 (4264 men and 6395 women) residents aged 40–69 years, initially free from ischemic heart disease and stroke, in four Japanese communities. Serum triglyceride concentrations at baseline were obtained for 2424 fasting (≥8 h after meal) and 8235 non-fasting (
