Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) caused by atherosclerosis is the leading cause of death worldwide. The level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), considered as the initiator of atherosclerosis, is the most widely used predictor for CVD risk and LDL-C has been the primary target for lipid-lowering therapies. However, residual CVD risk remains high even with very low levels of LDL-C. This residual CVD risk may be due to remnant cholesterol, high triglyceride levels, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), which is calculated as total cholesterol minus HDL-C (and represents the cholesterol content of all atherogenic apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins), has emerged as a better risk predictor for CVD than LDL-C and an alternative target for CVD risk reduction. Major international guidelines recommend evaluating non-HDL-C as part of atherosclerotic CVD risk assessment, especially in people with high triglycerides, diabetes, obesity, or very low LDL-C. A non-HDL-C target of <130 mg/dL (3.4 mmol/L) has been recommended for patients at very high risk, which is 30 mg/dL (0.8 mmol/L) higher than the corresponding LDL-C target goal. Non-HDL-C lowering approaches include reducing LDL-C and triglyceride levels, increasing HDL-C, or targeting multiple risk factors simultaneously. However, despite the growing evidence for the role of non-HDL-C in residual CVD risk, and recommendations for its assessment in major guidelines, non-HDL-C testing is not routinely done in clinical practice. Thus, there is a need for increased awareness of the need for non-HDL-C testing for ascertaining CVD risk and concomitant prevention of CVD.

Abstract
Few studies have compared the utility of serum levels of lipid fractions in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The current study interrogated this question among men and women aged 40-60 years in rural northern Ghana. This was a cross-sectional study in which data was collected on socio-demography, behaviour, health history, anthropometry and lipid levels. Adjusted multivariable logistic regression models were used to assess the association of various lipid metrics with CVD. All tests were considered statistically significant at P<0.05. Data were available for 1839 participants. The prevalence of self-reported CVD was 1.6% (n = 29). Non-HDL-C (median (interquartile range): 2.4 (1.9-3.0) vs 2.0 (1.6-2.5) mmol/L; P = 0.009), LDL-C/HDL-C (1.8 (1.4-2.4) vs 1.5 (1.1-2.6); P = 0.019) and TC/HDL-C (3.3 (2.9-3.9) vs 2.9 (2.4-3.5); P = 0.003) were all significantly higher in participants with self-reported CVD compared to those without. However, after adjusting for socioeconomic status (SES) and meals from vendors in a logistic regression model, only non-HDL-C (odds ratio [95% CIs]): (1.58 [1.05, 2.39]), P = 0.029 and LDL-C/HDL-C levels (odds ratio [95% CIs]): (1.26 [1.00, 1.59]), P = 0.045 remained significantly associated with self-reported CVD. While our findings suggest non-HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C measures may be appropriate biomarkers for assessing CVD risk in this population, further studies using established clinical endpoints are required to validate these findings in sub-Saharan Africans.

Abstract
As non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels account for all atherogenic lipoproteins, serum non-HDL-C level has been suggested to be a marker for cardiovascular (CV) risk stratification. Therefore, to unveil the association of serum non-HDL-C levels with CV outcomes in patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD), the patients at stages 1 to 5 (n = 2152) from the Korean Cohort Study for Outcomes in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (KNOW-CKD) were prospectively analyzed. The subjects were divided into quintiles by serum non-HDL-C level. The primary outcome was a composite of all-cause death or non-fatal CV events. The median duration of follow-up was 6.940 years. The analysis using the Cox proportional hazard model unveiled that the composite CV event was significantly increased in the 5th quintile (adjusted hazard ratio 2.162, 95% confidence interval 1.174 to 3.981), compared to that of the 3rd quintile. A fully adjusted cubic spline model depicted a non-linear, J-shaped association between non-HDL-C and the risk of a composite CV event. The association remained robust in a series of sensitivity analyses, including the analysis of a cause-specific hazard model. Subgroup analyses reveled that the association is not significantly altered by clinical conditions, including age, gender, body mass index, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and albuminuria. In conclusion, high serum non-HDL-C level increased the risk of adverse CV outcomes among the patients with ND-CKD. Further studies are warranted to define the optimal target range of non-HDL-C levels in this population.

Abstract
Background Non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) may be an independent risk factor for cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CVD); however, the cutoff level in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) is unknown. Methods This was a retrospective multicenter study of MHD patients treated at 10 dialysis centers in Guangdong Province from July 1, 2016, to April 1, 2017. Laboratory test data were collected and CVD complications and outcomes recorded. Results In total, 1288 eligible patients were included in this study; the non-HDL-C interquartile range was 2.76 (2.24–3.45) mmol/L. Over a median follow-up time of 24 months, 141 patients developed CVD. The non-HDL-C level was a principal risk factor for such events (P < 0.05; 95% confidence interval 0.800–0.842). The maximum Youden index was 0.549 and the best cutoff > 3.39 mmol/L. Conclusion Higher baseline non-HDL-C levels may increase the CVD risk in MHD patients. Thus, non-HDL-C effectively predicts CVD.

Abstract
Low 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels are closely associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease. Vitamin D deficiency is more common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus than in the general population. In addition, vitamin D status is lower in patients with the metabolic syndrome than in those without the syndrome. Therefore, we examined the association between lipid profiles and 25(OH)D levels. In this case control study, 285 type 2 diabetic patients who attended the Manda Memorial Hospital from March to October 2017 were selected and 25(OH)D, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride (TG) levels, were obtained. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the association between 25(OH)D concentrations and TG levels was statistically significant (p<0.01) after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, estimated glomerular flow rate (eGFR), insulin use, duration of diabetes mellitus, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), alcohol consumption, current smoking, and sampling timing. The serum 25(OH)D level was inversely associated with the TG level after the adjustment for the characteristics of Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Background Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) may have various clinical outcomes. Hyperlipidemia is quite common in IMN. However, the utility of the lipid profile in predicting outcomes remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the correlation between hyperlipidemia and proteinuria remission in IMN. Methods 256 patients who diagnosed with IMN confirmed by renal biopsy in Wuhan Tongji Hospital from January 2016 to October 2020 were included in this study. The end point was defined as a combination of partial and complete remission. Cox proportional-hazards regression analysis and Kaplan–Meier curve were applied to assess the prognostic value of the lipid profile for proteinuria remission. Results A total of 153 (59.8%) patients achieved remission and 103 (40.2%) did not. The levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, and non-high-density lipoprotein were significantly lower in the remission group than in the non-remission group. Non-high-density lipoprotein level revealed the strongest correlation with proteinuria (Spearman’s rho = 0.42; P < 0.001). The multivariate analysis demonstrated that serum total cholesterol [hazard ratio (HR): 0.883; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.813–0.958; P = 0.003] and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HR: 0.892; 95% CI: 0.820–0.970; P = 0.007) levels were independent markers to predict proteinuria remission in IMN. Conclusions Among the lipid profile, the non-high-density lipoprotein level exhibited the strongest correlation with proteinuria in IMN. Moreover, elevated serum cholesterol and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations at baseline predicted probability of proteinuria non-remission in IMN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the current study was to investigate associations between spicy food intake and serum lipids levels in Chinese rural population. DESIGN Information on spicy food flavour and intake frequency was obtained using a two-item questionnaire survey. Dietary data were collected using a validated thirteen-item FFQ. Fasting blood samples were collected and measured for total cholesterol (TC), TAG, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. Multivariate linear and logistic regression models were employed to examine the relationship between spicy food and serum lipids levels according to the spicy food flavour and intake frequency, respectively. SETTING A cross-sectional study in Henan Province. PARTICIPANTS 38 238 participants aged 18-79 years old. RESULTS Spicy flavour and intake frequency were consistently associated with decreased TC and non-HDL-cholesterol levels but mildly associated with elevated TAG levels. Each level increment in spicy flavour was inversely associated with high TC (OR: 0·91; 95 % CI 0·88, 0·93) and high non-HDL-cholesterol (OR: 0·88; 95 % CI 0·85, 0·91) but positively associated with high TAG (OR: 1·04; 95 % CI 1·01, 1·07). Similarly, 1-d increment in spicy food intake frequency was also inversely associated with high TC (OR: 0·92; 95 % CI 0·91, 0·94) and high non-HDL-cholesterol (OR: 0·91; 95 % CI 0·89, 0·93) but positively associated with high TAG (OR: 1·04; 95 % CI 1·02, 1·06). CONCLUSIONS Spicy food intake was mildly associated with increased risk of abnormal TAG level, significantly associated with decreased risk of abnormal TC and non-HDL levels. Spicy food intake may be contribute to the management of lipid levels.

Abstract
Dyslipidemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), however the relationship between dyslipidemia and mortality in patients with moderate to severe CKD remains controversial. Non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol has been reported to be a more accurate predictor of clinical outcomes than conventional lipid measurements. Hence, the aim of this study was to investigate associations between non-HDL cholesterol and the risk of overall and cardiovascular mortality in patients with CKD stage 3–5. We enrolled 429 pre-dialysis patients with stage 3 to 5 CKD from May 2006 to January 2010. The patients were divided into four groups according to quartiles of non-HDL cholesterol. The patients were followed until death or until January 2020. During a median 11.6 years of follow-up, there were 78 (18.2%) deaths overall and 32 (7.5%) cardiovascular deaths. In adjusted models, the patients in quartile 1 (hazard ratio [HR] 3.368; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.388–8.176; p = 0.007), quartile 3 (HR 3.666; 95% CI 1.486–9.044; p = 0.005), and quartile 4 (HR 2.868; 95% CI 1.136–7.240; p = 0.026) of non-HDL cholesterol had a higher risk of overall mortality (vs. quartile 2). In addition, the patients in quartile 1 (HR 19.503; 95% CI 2.185–174.0925 p = 0.008), quartile 3 (HR 28.702; 95% CI 2.990–275.559; p = 0.004), and quartile 4 (HR 11.136; 95% CI 1.126–110.108; p = 0.039) had a higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (vs. quartile 2). Our study showed a U-shaped relationship between non-HDL cholesterol and the risk of overall and cardiovascular mortality in patients with CKD stage 3–5. Assessing non-HDL cholesterol may help to identify subjects at high-risk of adverse outcomes.

Abstract
Reducing cardiovascular risk (CVR) is the main focus of diabetes mellitus (DM) management nowadays. Complex pathogenic mechanisms that are the subject of this review lead to early and severe atherosclerosis in DM patients. Although it is not a cardiovascular disease equivalent at the moment of diagnosis, DM subjects are affected by numerous cardiovascular complications, such as acute coronary syndrome, stroke, or peripheral artery disease, as the disease duration increases. Therefore, early therapeutic intervention is mandatory and recent guidelines focus on intensive CVR factor management: hyperglycaemia, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia. Most important, the appearance of oral or injectable antidiabetic medication such as SGLT-2 inhibitors or GLP-1 agonists has proven that an antidiabetic drug not only reduces glycaemia, but also reduces CVR by complex mechanisms. A profound understanding of intimate mechanisms that generate atherosclerosis in DM and ways to inhibit or delay them are of the utmost importance in a society where cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are predominant.

Abstract
AIMS To examine the relationship of non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) level with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in type 2 diabetes patients and the general population by conducting a meta-analysis. METHODS We made a comprehensive literature search for relevant observational studies investigating the relationship of non-HDL-C level with CVD risk in the general population and type 2 diabetes patients using the PubMed and Embase databases. Pooled risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated for the highest versus the reference lower non-HDL-Cl. RESULTS A total of 13 studies with 156,381 individuals were included. The pooled RR of CVD was 1.59 (95% CI 1.46-1.72) in the general population and 1.99 (95% CI 1.57-2.51) in type 2 diabetes patients. Subgroup analysis showed the similar effect of non-HDL-C on CVD risk between men (RR1.98; 95% CI 1.70-2.30) and women (RR 1.63; 95% CI 1.35-1.96). However, elevated non-HDL-C was not associated with higher risk of cardiovascular mortality in the general population (RR 1.64; 95% CI 0.96-2.80) and type 2 diabetes patients (RR 1.08; 95% CI 0.57-2.07). CONCLUSIONS Elevated non-HDL-C level is associated with an increased risk of CVD in the general population and type 2 diabetes patients.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of the current work was to review the effects of regular aerobic exercise on serum lipid and lipoprotein levels in East Asians using meta-analysis. METHODS The randomized controlled trials analyzed involved healthy adults who were East Asians with a mean age ≥40 years, an exercise group that only performed regular aerobic exercise, and a control group that did not carry out exercise-related intervention; the trials indicated mean high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), or triglyceride (TG). The mean difference (MD) was defined as the difference (mean value at post-intervention in the exercise group-mean value at baseline in the exercise group)-(mean value at post-intervention in the control group-mean value at baseline in the control group) in HDL-C, LDL-C, TC, and TG and was calculated for each trial. The weighted MD was calculated with a random-effects model. RESULTS The meta-analysis examined 994 subjects in 25 studies. The weighted MD in HDL-C, TC, and TG improved significantly (HDL-C, 2.2 mg/dL; TC, -5.8 mg/dL; TG, -13.7 mg/dL). The weighted MD in HDL-C and TC contained significant heterogeneity (HDL-C, I2=45.1%; TC, I2=56.2%). When trials were limited to those involving moderate-intensity exercise (55%-69% of the maximum heart rate) or an exercise volume ≥150 min/week, the weighted MD in HDL-C, LDL-C, TC, and TG improved significantly and did not contain significant heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that the ideal form of exercise to improve lipid and lipoprotein levels in East Asians is exercise of moderate-intensity and in a volume ≥150 min/week.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Predicting cardiovascular events is of practical benefit for disease prevention. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate an updated risk prediction model for cardiovascular diseases and its subtypes. METHODS A total of 2462 community residents aged 40-84 years were followed up for 24 years. A Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to develop risk prediction models for cardiovascular diseases, and separately for stroke and coronary heart diseases. The risk assessment ability of the developed model was evaluated, and a bootstrapping method was used for internal validation. The predicted risk was translated into a simplified scoring system. A decision curve analysis was used to evaluate clinical usefulness. RESULTS The multivariable model for cardiovascular diseases included age, sex, systolic blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, smoking habits, and regular exercise as predictors. The models for stroke and coronary heart diseases incorporated both shared and unique variables. The developed models showed good discrimination with little evidence of overfitting (optimism-corrected Harrell's C statistics 0.726-0.777) and calibrations (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, p = 0.44-0.90). The decision curve analysis revealed that the predicted risk-based decision-making would have higher net benefit than either a CVD intervention strategy for all individuals or no individuals. CONCLUSIONS The developed risk prediction models showed a good performance and satisfactory internal validity, which may help understand individual risk and setting personalized goals, and promote risk stratification in public health strategies for CVD prevention.

Abstract
AIM Although renal dysfunction has been identified as a novel risk factor affecting stroke prognosis, few have analyzed the association within large-scale population-based setting, using wide-range estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) category. We aimed to determine the association of admission eGFR with acute stroke outcomes using data from a registry established in Shiga Prefecture, Japan. METHODS Following exclusion of patients younger than 18 years, with missing serum creatinine data, and with onset more than 7 days prior to admission, 2,813 acute stroke patients registered in the Shiga Stroke Registry year 2011 were included in the final analysis. The Japanese Society of Nephrology equation was used to estimate GFR. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to analyze the association of eGFR with all-cause in-hospital death (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] 6), and at-discharge death/disability (mRS 2-6). Separate analyses were conducted within stroke subtypes. RESULTS Compared to eGFR 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2, adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval [95% CI] for in-hospital death (in the order of eGFR <45, 45-59, and ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2) were 1.54 [1.04-2.27], 1.07 [0.72-1.58], and 1.04 [0.67-1.59]. Likewise, adjusted ORs [95% CI] for at-discharge death/disability were 1.54 [1.02-2.32], 0.97 [0.73-1.31], and 1.48 [1.06-2.05]. Similar pattern was further evident in the eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 group for both outcomes within acute ischemic stroke patients. CONCLUSIONS Our study has ascertained that in acute stroke, particularly ischemic stroke, low eGFR was significantly associated with in-hospital death and at-discharge death/disability. Additionally, high eGFR was found to be associated with at-discharge death/disability.

Abstract
Aims: The J-STARS study examined whether pravastatin (10 mg/day) reduces recurrence of stroke in non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke patients who were enrolled within 1 month to 3 years after initial stroke events (ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00221104). The main results showed that the frequency of atherothrombotic stroke was low in pravastatin-treated patients, although no effect of pravastatin was found for the other stroke subtypes. We evaluated differences of early (within 6 months) or late (after 6 months) pravastatin treatment benefits on the incidence of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), as well as atherothrombotic stroke and the other subtypes. Methods: Subjects in the J-STARS study were classified into two cohorts, depending on whether they enrolled early (1 to 6 months) or late (6 months to 3 years) following initial stroke events. Results: A total of 1578 patients (491 female, 66.2 ± 8.5 years) were randomly assigned to either the pravastatin group (n = 793; n = 426 in the early cohort, n = 367 in the late cohort) or the control group (n = 785; n = 417 in the early cohort, n = 368 in the late cohort). During the follow-up of 4.9 ± 1.4 years, the rate of atherothrombotic stroke was lower in the pravastatin group compared to controls in the early cohort (0.24 vs. 0.88%/year, p = 0.01) but not in the late cohort (0.17 vs. 0.39%/year, p = 0.29). However, this difference of pravastatin effect on atherothrombotic stroke was not significantly interacted by the early or late cohort (p = 0.59). The incidence rates of other stroke subtype were not different in between pravastatin and control groups despite the timing of entry. Conclusions: Pravastatin is likely to reduce atherothrombotic stroke in patients enrolled within 6 months after stroke onset. However, the clinical efficacy for prevention of recurrent stroke was not conclusive with earlier statin treatment.
