Combined electronegative VLDL and LDL levels in groups of study participants with high or low hard coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. Combined L5 and V5 levels were significantly higher in the high hard CHD risk group (adjusted hard CHD risk ≥ 1.5). The p-value was calculated by using the Mann-Whitney U test. Adjusted hard CHD risk was calculated as the hard CHD risk/average hard CHD risk at the age. The average hard CHD risk at the age was derived from the Framingham heart study [25] of a predominantly Caucasian population. The solid line indicates the median value for each group.
