Abstract

•Averaging triglycerides (TGs) improves risk prediction over single measurements.•TGs are associated with increased cardiovascular risk, even in the “normal” range.•The association between TGs and cardiovascular events differs by sex. BackgroundElevated triglycerides (TGs) are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the best way to both measure TGs and assess TG-related risk remains unknown.ObjectiveThe objective of...
