Influence of triglyceride concentration in lipoprotein (a) as a function of dyslipidemia.
Clin Investig Arterioscler
March 2024
Article Synopsis
- Recent research indicates an inverse correlation between lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and triglycerides (TG) levels, particularly in individuals without diabetes or obesity.
- In a study of over 5,000 patients, Lp(a) concentrations were found to be significantly lower when TG levels exceeded 300 mg/dL, with the lowest levels occurring in those with TG over 1000 mg/dL.
- The findings suggest that the relationship between Lp(a) and TG varies based on the presence of factors like diabetes and obesity, highlighting a need for further research into the underlying mechanisms of this association.
Article Synopsis
- * Early intervention is crucial, focusing on lifestyle changes and specific medications to manage both metabolic and cardiovascular risks effectively.
- * A consensus among various healthcare specialists emphasizes a comprehensive strategy for T2DM management, including patient education, revising medication regimens, and promoting the use of certain drugs known to enhance cardiovascular protection.
Background: International studies have reported an increase in referrals to gender identity units, a shift in the assigned sex ratio of adolescents, a decrease in the age at first visit, and a growing presence of individuals with nonbinary gender identities.
Aim: To investigate whether these trends are present in a Spanish sample of individuals referred to a gender identity unit over the last 10 years.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review of 913 consecutive referrals to a gender identity unit between 2012 and 2021 and retrieved information regarding sex assigned at birth, age at first visit, and expressed gender identity.
