Machine learning modelling of blood lipid biomarkers in familial hypercholesterolaemia versus polygenic/environmental dyslipidaemia
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-83392-w
Abstract: Familial hypercholesterolaemia increases circulating LDL-C levels and leads to premature cardiovascular disease when undiagnosed or untreated. Current guidelines support genetic testing in patients complying with clinical diagnostic criteria and cascade screening of their family members.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/22423982.2024.2386783
Abstract: ABSTRACT The anthropometric index that best predicts cardiometabolic risk remains inconclusive. This study therefore assessed the prevalence of obesity using six indices and compared their associations with obesity-related cardiometabolic disorders. We determined obesity prevalence according… read more here.
