Lower or higher HDL-C levels are associated with cardiovascular events in the general population in rural China

Abstract: Background: The present study aims to estimate whether high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is correlated with cardiovascular events (CVEs) and cardiovascular mortality (CVM) in a large sample of the general population in rural areas of China. Methods: Adult participants (n = 10,266, age = 53.79 ± 10.49 years; 46.5% men) were enrolled from the Northeast China Rural Cardiovascular Health Study (NCRCHS). Laboratory testing, blood pressure, weight, height, and questionnaires about socioeconomic status wer… Show more

“…Although HDL-C has been regarded as a divine messenger in reducing cardiovascular risk, recent studies show that cardiovascular events occur at a higher incidence in subjects with both low and high HDL-C concentrations. Thus, maintaining HDL-C levels within the normal range might be a better option in preventing the development of cardiovascular disorders during post-menopause (Barter and Genest 2019;Yu et al, 2020). However, Mirhosseini et al (2018) et al, in their meta-analysis, concluded that vitamin D administration increases HDL-C and reduces LDL-C, TC and TG, and thus further research on this topic is needed (Mirhosseini et al, 2018).…”

“…15 Similarly, Sun et al found that, in the general Chinese adults, the relation of HDL-C and allcause mortality was U-shaped and that HDL-C≥80 mg/dl was significantly correlated with greater risk of all-cause death. 20 Another study using data from the NHANES 1999-2010 showed that extremely high (≥100 mg/dL) or low (<30 mg/dL) levels increased risk of all-cause deaths and deaths from coronary heart disease and stroke in American adults, but the results were not stratified by hypertension status. 30 Among the elderly, Mao, et al 31 found that HDL-C <61 mg/dL was related to a 18% higher all-cause mortality risk and HDL-C >87 mg/dL increased the risk by 56% compared with the group with HDL-C concentrations ranging from 61 to 87 mg/dL.…”

“…[15][16][17][18][19] In addition, a cohort study from China found that both lower and higher HDL-C were associated with increased risk of CVDs in the general rural China population, but results for cardiovascular mortality were not significant. 20 In patients with type 2 diabetes, participants with relatively high HDL-C concentration had higher risk of CVDs and all-cause mortality. 21 No significant association between HDL-C and all-cause mortality was found in some other studies.…”

“…In this study, the overall obesity affected the third of Tunisian women and the abdominal obesity concerned almost the half, with a decreasing trend with HDL-C levels. The negative associations between obesity and HDL-C have long been reported and were attributed to the potential role of HDL-C or ApoA-I on adipose tissue content regulation (47,48). Hypertension is a well-established risk factor for CVD and is strongly associated with dyslipidemia, a group of metabolic derangements including low HDL-C levels.…”
