Total cholesterol and all-cause mortality by sex and age: a prospective cohort study among 12.8 million adults

Abstract: It is unclear whether associations between total cholesterol (TC) levels and all-cause mortality and the optimal TC ranges for lowest mortality vary by sex and age. 12,815,006 Korean adults underwent routine health examinations during 2001–2004, and were followed until 2013. During follow-up, 694,423 individuals died. U-curve associations were found. In the TC ranges of 50–199 and 200–449 mg/dL, each 39 mg/dL (1 mmol/L) increase in TC was associated with 23% lower (95% CI:23%,24%) and 7% higher (6%,7%) mortali… Show more

“…At first, the concentration of Chol was quantified by a well-recognized enzyme-based colorimetric method using a commercial kit by following the protocol supplied with kit ( Supplementary Figure 8). As found in Figure 4B, total Chol from the extraction of original serum was quantified to be 4.19 ± 0.2 mM, which is reasonable because the normal concentration from healthy people is usually between 3.5 and 5.17 mM (Lai et al, 2015;Yi et al, 2019). The Chol concentration from the sample was determined to be 4.48 ± 0.61 mM through the chemical luminescence method.…”

“…Higher serum TC and LDL-C have been reported to be associated with a higher incidence of [47]. At the age of 18-34 years, each 1 mmol/L higher TC increased mortality by 14% [48]. High levels of TC and LDL-C occurred in female adolescents in recent years [49].…”

“…However, ndings from previous studies have been inconsistent. Varied association shapes for TC versus all-cause mortality were obtained, including positive linear, U-curve, reverse-L-curve (or reverse-J-curve), and negative associations [15,21,22].…”
