the 30 year old with the higher apob all things equal is going to have higher cardiovascular risk just as the epidemiology would suggest
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
i think practically what it means is basically by the time you're in your late 30s or early 40s if you have any measure of apo b that's even north of the 20th percentile that should be completely lowered
in our practice apob is the most important metric that we are looking at to predict risk
well there's no study that can answer that question because if you study a 30- year-old for the next five years at apob of 70 versus hell 170 you cannot see a difference over that period of time you would have to study those people over their lifetimes now I believe there would wholeheartedly be a difference in that population unquestionably the 30- year-old with the higher apob all things equal is going to have higher cardiovascular risk just as the epidemiology would suggest
