ASSOCIATION OF LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN TRIGLYCERIDES (LDL-TG) AND REMNANT-LIKE PROTEIN CHOLESTEROL (RLP-C) WITH CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS IN THE ELDERLY: THE ATHEROSCLEROSIS RISK IN COMMUNITIES (ARIC) STUDY

Traditional lipid risk factors are weak predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older adults. Novel measures of triglyceride rich lipoproteins including LDL-TG and RLP-C have been shown to be significantly associated with CVD in middle aged adults. We sought to evaluate whether LDL-TG and RLP-
