Data for men aged 50\u201370 years. Relative Risk of Coronary Heart Disease After 4 Years Low HDL-C Predicts Risk Independent of LDL-C: The Framingham Study. This slide places high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) into context with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) as a predictor of coronary heart disease risk. Specifically, the Framingham Heart Study demonstrated that as the level of HDL-C decreased, the risk for coronary heart disease increased at all levels of LDL-C. Similarly, high levels of HDL-C were associated with reduced risk for coronary heart disease, even in the presence of elevated LDL-C. Reference: Castelli WP.
