we have the 100 participants at Baseline and they by February have all been scanned right for their first of those tests they've all been scanned all 100 but the catch is that um 20 of those are outside of the age ranges of the Miami Heart cohort so that's still plenty that we had 80 so of those 80 lanquist statistician needs to try to see if there's a matched cohort can it get matched for age uh gender uh ethnicity all these things and it was a very surprising onetoone match like if if you see the uh the table at some point it's it's really impressive the key differences are of course the LDL which is what we wanted to be different uh BMI was different I want to say our BMI for cohort was 22.5 which won't surprise you at all gets back to the whole lip energy model everything else and I think on the Miami hard side it was I want to say 25.8 uh but all the healthy markers otherwise everybody's got a very comparable uh smoking status blood pressure HSP uh A1C they're they're so close for a match and I love that because I I like one I like stratification over modification wherever possible so if you can actually get a match group that's fantastic um and both groups very high HDL very low triglycerides so finally the analysis is done and we found out you know a few months ago but of course we had to stay under the Embargo until Matt budah presented it this last Friday so yes um I have actually have his slide deck over here now the results were the match mean age was 55.5 years uh that's that's super relevant to me because frankly I kind of was looking forward to the possibility we might have middle-age population because they're going to be more likely to have plaque than not um and the mean ldlc of our group was 272 272 so it's actually about per inhan that's about one in a thousand people have an LDL that high it's extremely rare and the mean uh time on the diet so the meantime likely to be at these levels it's around 4.7 years so almost half a decade they were at these levels
