Discordance between LDL-C and non-HDL-C, and apoB. Lipid profile test results (N = 1121) fromNHANES (2005–2016) for individuals aged 18–75 years (mean age = 62; 58% male), treated with lipid-lowering medication, and with LDL-C levels < 100 mg/dL (mean LDL-C = 76 mg/dL) were used to calculate the difference in percentile units between LDL-C and apoB (x-axis), and between non-HDL-C and apoB (y-axis). Concordant LDL-C (Sectors B, E and H) and non-HDL-C results (Sectors D, E and F) were defined as being within ±10 percentile units of the apoB percentile value. Individual data points are color coded with the percentile of the triglyceride values. The percentage of the total population in each individual sector (next to sector designation) or combined sectors (column and row headings) is indicated. LDL-C was calculated using the Friedewald equation. White background: concordant sectors; colored background: discordant sectors.
