TLDR
High AIP, a surrogate of small LDL particle size, reflects obesity and hyperinsulinemia in men and high CRP status in women, and predicted diabetes and high blood pressure in both sexes after adjustment for age and CRP.

Obesity, adiposity, and dyslipidemia: A consensus statement from the National Lipid Association

TL;DR: On September 16, 2012, the National Lipid Association held a Consensus Conference with the goal of better defining the effect of adiposity on lipoproteins, how the pathos of excessive body fat (adiposopathy) contributes to dyslipidemia, and how therapies such as appropriate nutrition, increased physical activity, weight-management drugs, and bariatric surgery might be expected to impact dys Lipidemia.

Cholesterol esterification and atherogenic index of plasma correlate with lipoprotein size and findings on coronary angiography

TL;DR: FERHDL and AIP reflect the actual composition of the lipoprotein spectrum and thus predict both the cardiovascular risk and effectiveness of therapy and are available for use in clinical practice as it can be readily calculated from the routine lipid profile.

The atherogenic index of plasma is a strong and independent predictor for coronary artery disease in the Chinese Han population.

TL;DR: The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), a new comprehensive lipid index, might be a strong marker for predicting the risk of CAD in the Chinese Han population and was an independent risk factor for CAD.

Residual macrovascular risk in 2013: what have we learned?

TL;DR: Monitoring of non-HDL cholesterol provides a simple, practical tool for treatment decisions regarding the management of lipid-related residual cardiovascular risk, and several emerging treatments may offer promise.

Triglyceride to HDL-C Ratio and Increased Arterial Stiffness in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults

TL;DR: In this article, the authors tested whether triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C) was an independent predictor of arterial stiffness in youth.

Definition of Metabolic Syndrome Report of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute/American Heart Association Conference on Scientific Issues Related to Definition

TL;DR: Although ATP III identified CVD as the primary clinical outcome of the metabolic syndrome, most people with this syndrome have insulin resistance, which confers increased risk for type 2 diabetes, when diabetes becomes clinically apparent, CVD risk rises sharply.

Follow-up report on the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The International Expert Committee was convened to reexamine the classification and diagnostic criteria of diabetes, which were based on the 1979 publication of the National Diabetes Data Group and subsequent WHO study group and adopted several changes to the diagnostic criteria for diabetes and for lesser degrees of impaired glucose regulation (IFG/IGT).
