Low HDL Cholesterol and High Risk of Autoimmune Disease: Two Population-Based Cohort Studies Including 117341 Individuals
High-density lipoprotein or HDL is one of the most important of the lipoproteins in most species and there is evidence that points towards a role of HDL in normal immune function. A paper appearing in the May 2019 issue of Clinical Chemistry tested the hypothesis that concentrations of HLD cholesterol are associated with risk of autoimmune disease. That study from the Copenhagen General Population Study and the Copenhagen City Heart Study included over 100,000 individuals. We are pleased to have the senior author of that paper with us today, Dr. Borge Nordestgaard.
