“…Subjects were grouped by desirable or undesirable HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels using ATP III recommended cut-offs, 9 and the median biomarker level of healthy controls for LDLcholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol, Lp(a) and the total cholesterol (TC)/HDL and triglyceride/HDL ratios. The cut-off for the LDL/HDL ratio was based on desirable values of 100 and 40, respectively.…”

“…Type 2 diabetes is associated with hyperlipidemia (elevated triglycerides, decreased high density lipoprotein (HDL) and increased low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels [40]. Furthermore, in addition to oxidation of lipoproteins hyperglycemia may lead to glycation leading to formation of pro-atherogenic glycoxidation products [42] in analogy to formation of advanced glycation end products (AGE) as already discussed.…”

“…This suggests that other mechanisms than hyperglycemia may be important for atherogenesis in diabetics, which may especially apply to type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is often preceded by or associated with the metabolic syndrome, a risk factor complex for cardiovascular disease consisting of atherogenic dyslipidemia, insulin resistance accompanied by glucose intolerance, abdominal obesity, a proinflammatory and prothrombotic state and hypertension [40,41].…”

“…[26][27][28] Grundy et al 29 believe that HT is 'less metabolic' than other metabolic- Another potential confounder about the role of HT in MS is aging, because both HT and MS increase in prevalence with age. 30 In our experience, the classification of HT proposed by the NCEP did not modify CHD profile. In fact, for an old person with MS, a systolic X130 and/or a diastolic X85 mm Hg did not increase the risk of dying for a CHD event when antihypertensive treatment was present; and on the other hand, untreated elderly hypertensives were at increased risk of CHD mortality independent of systolic or diastolic category.…”
