Primary cardiovascular events and serum lipid levels in elderly Japanese with hypercholesterolemia undergoing 6-year simvastatin treatment: A

Article Abstract:

A study conducted to determine relationship between serum lipid levels and the incidence of coronary events in older Japanese hypercholesterolemic patients without prior coronary heart disease (CHD) is presented. The low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level-dependent increase relative risk of CHD was found similar in elderly and younger patients, whereas the absolute risk at any LDL-C level in elderly patients was higher than in younger patients.

Associations between polymorphisms of the high-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor and late-onset airflow obstruction in older populations

Article Abstract:
