I can eat my cheeseburger.
Isn't that interesting that people change their diet in an unhealthy way when their number's better?
Yeah.
So the focus has been on amount of cholesterol, but we want to know the quality of the cholesterol.
So we know, for example, LDL, that's typically labeled the lousy cholesterol, there's big, fluffy, puffy pattern A LDL cholesterol, which is less easily made into a plaque in the artery, less
prone to inflammation and oxidative stress and rupture.
So it's a less risky LDL, whereas somebody could have small, dense pattern B LDL, and that's the really risky LDL.
So quality matters.
And if you have two people with a calculated LDL of 130, one of them could all have pattern A low-risk LDL, and they're actually fine.
Somebody else could have lots of those dense particles that's not captured by the calculated LDL of 130.
So the quality matters.
The same is true for HDL.
We've historically thought of HDL as being the good healthy cholesterol, but size matters there too.
Small HDL doesn't seem to be as able to cart out the bad LDL and get rid of it.
So we want to know the quality.
quality and the size of both the HDL and the LDL, and we want to know what other remnant particles are floating around, like very low-density lipoprotein and intermediate-density lipoprotein, and those don't show up on a typical panel.
Yeah, not very.
So a recent study was looking at the Hanes data from 2009 to 2016.
Government survey.
And trying to say, well, how many people are what we would call metabolically healthy?
