Journal ArticleDOI

Serum Total Cholesterol, Apolipoprotein E Epsilon 4 Allele, and Alzheimer's Disease

TL;DR: It is concluded that high serum total cholesterol may be an independent risk factor for AD and some of the effect of the apoE σ4 allele on risk of AD might be mediated through high serum cholesterol.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relation of serum homocysteine and lipoprotein(a) concentrations to atherosclerotic disease in a prospective Finnish population based study

TL;DR: The results of this prospective population-based study do not support the hypotheses that serum homocysteine or Lp(a) are risk factors for atherosclerotic disease and may be due to the exceptionally low gene frequency predisposing to homocysteinemia in Finland.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of fenofibrate treatment on cardiovascular disease risk in 9,795 individuals with type 2 diabetes and various components of the metabolic syndrome: the Fenofibrate Intervention and Event Lowering in Diabetes (FIELD) study.

TL;DR: Metabolic syndrome components identify higher CVD risk in individuals with type 2 diabetes, so the absolute benefits of fenofibrate are likely to be greater when metabolic syndrome features are present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apolipoprotein E polymorphism in the Finnish population: gene frequencies and relation to lipoprotein concentrations.

TL;DR: The data suggest that the apoE gene locus may be one factor responsible for the high LDL cholesterol concentrations in the Finnish population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipoprotein (a) and coronary heart disease risk: a nested case-control study of the Helsinki Heart Study participants.

TL;DR: It is concluded that in the Helsinki Heart Study cohort the serum Lp(a) level was not a predictor of future coronary events.
