Genetic and observational associations of nuclear magnetic resonance-measured lipid-related traits and atherosclerotic cardiovascular mortality in the Mexico City Prospective Study by Wang, Y

“…Cox regression yielded adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for the association of both composite lipid traits and lipid subfractions with ASCVD mortality (defined as ischaemic heart disease, ischaemic stroke, or peripheral arterial disease) among participants aged 35-84 years without chronic diseases (except diabetes) and not taking lipid-lowering drugs (<1%). …”
