Popis: Introduction: Measures of atherogenic particle number (apoB and LDL particle number [LDL-P]) are stronger predictors of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk than measures of cholesterol concentration (LDL-C, non-HDL-C, total cholesterol [TC]) in middle-aged adults. It is unclear if this is true for younger adults. Methods: Among CARDIA participants (ppts), NMR was used to measure apoB and LDL-P. Non-HDL-C and TC were measured using standard assays; LDL-C was calculated using the Friedewald equation. We stratified the ppts into two age windows: age 20-30y (n=1645) and age 30-40y (n=2922). We used adjusted Cox proportional hazards models to assess the associations of 1SD higher apoB, LDL-P, non-HDL-C, LDL-C, or TC with incident ASCVD events. We substituted each measure of atherogenic lipid burden for TC in a modified Pooled Cohort Equation (PCE) model (with and without HDL-C); and model performance (discrimination and reclassification) was evaluated. Results: There were 81 and 163 ASCVD events over (median [IQR]) 31.8y (31.1-32.0y) for the age 20-30 age window and over 26.8y (19.1-27.1y) for the 30-40y age window, respectively. In ppts age 20-30y, a 1SD higher apoB, LDL-P, non-HDL-C, and LDL-C were significantly associated with incident ASCVD in demographic adjusted models. The strengths of associations with ASCVD were not significantly different across these measures. For the 30-40y age window, all measures of atherogenic lipoproteins were significantly associated with ASCVD; the strengths of association were not significantly different across atherogenic lipid measures in all models. There were no significant differences in the C-statistic and no improvement in reclassification when each measure was used to replace TC in the PCE model. Conclusions: ApoB, LDL-P, LDL-C or non-HDL-C may be slightly better markers of long-term ASCVD risk than TC in adults < 30y. However, in adults between 30-40y all measures of atherogenic lipid burden appeared to be equivalent predictors of long-term risk.
