Fig 6. Observational associations of circulating triglyceride concentrations and triglyceride composition in lipoprotein subclass particles and risk of incident CHD with multiple adjustments.

Fig 6

Hazard ratios for incident CHD per SD higher circulating triglyceride concentrations (upper part) and triglyceride composition (lower part) in lipoprotein subclass particles within each size-specific lipoprotein subclass adjusted for traditional risk factors and gradually for 3 fundamental measures that characterize the overall lipoprotein profile pretty well, namely, total serum triglyceride (total TG), HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), and apolipoprotein B (apoB) concentration. Closed circles represent statistical significance of associations at P < 0.002 and open circles associations that are nonsignificant at this threshold. The horizontal bars refer to the 95% CIs. Underlying data can be found in S1 Data. Apo B, apolipoprotein B; C, cholesterol; CHD, coronary heart disease; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; IDL, intermediate-density lipoprotein; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; TG, triglycerides; VLDL, very-low-density lipoprotein.
