Popis: Background: High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels are inversely related to risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). Because HDL particles are heterogeneous in size and composition, they may be differentially associated with other cardiovascular risk factors and with cardiovascular risk. Objective: To study the independent relationships of HDL size and particle concentration to risk for future CAD. Design: Nested case-control study within the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition)-Norfolk cohort; baseline survey between 1993 and 1997, follow-up until November 2003. Setting: Norfolk, United Kingdom. Participants: Case patients were 822 apparently healthy men and women who developed CAD during follow-up. Control participants were 1401 participants who remained without CAD and were matched to case patients by sex, age, and enrollment time. Measurements: First CAD event leading to either hospitalization or death. Results: Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-measured HDL particle concentration (mean, 33.9 mu mol/L [SD, 5] vs. 32.9 mu mol/L [SD, 6]; P
