Lack of an association or an inverse association between low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and mortality in the elderly: a systematic review

Objective It is well known that total cholesterol becomes less of a risk factor or not at all for all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality with increasing age, but as little is known as to whether low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), one component of total cholesterol, is associated with mortality in the elderly, we decided to investigate this issue.
Abstract goes on...


Dr. Malcolm Kendrick is one of the authors and he is still plugging along on his magnum opus of what DOES ccause heart disease (if not cholesterol), part 17 published this week.
