Apolipoprotein B is not superior to non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol for dyslipidemic classification of glycated hemoglobin-defined diabetic patients.
Medicine (Baltimore) 2018 October
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) always underestimates the true cholesterol burden in diabetic patients. We aimed to explore the impact of the inclusion of apolipoprotein B (apoB) or non-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (non-HDL-C), which are alternative markers of LDL-related risk, results in a better classification of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)-defined diabetic patients into different dyslipidemic phenotypes.We used data from the nationwide China Health and Nutrition Survey 2009 in which standardized HbA1c was measured.The prevalence of abnormal LDL using non-HDL-cholesterol (74.1%) was similar to the prevalence rate using LDL-C (75.2%), whereas the prevalence was relatively lower when using apoB (69.6%). In normotriglyceridemic HbA1c-defined diabetic patients, apoB and non-HDL-C were not superior to LDL-C in detecting abnormal LDL. However, in hypertriglyceridemic patients, apoB and non-HDL-C were superior to LDL-C for the detection of abnormal lipid levels, but apoB was not superior to non-HDL-C in detecting abnormal LDL in hypertriglyceridemic participants.Both apoB and non-HDL-C identify high-risk dyslipidemic phenotypes that are not detected by LDL-C in hypertriglyceridemic HbA1c-defined diabetic patients, with the superiority of non-HDL- C over apoB.
