Race-ethnic differences in the association between lipid profile components and risk of myocardial infarction: The Northern Manhattan Study.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore race-ethnic differences in the association between plasma lipid components and risk of incident myocardial infa rct ion ( MI ) . DESIGN / METHODS As part of the Northern Manhattan Study , 2,738 community residents without cardiovascular disease were prospect ively evaluated . Baseline fasting blood sample s were collected , and lipid panel components were analyzed as continuous and categorical variables . Cox proportional hazards models were used to calculate HRs and 95 % CIs for incident MI after adjusting for demographic and cardiovascular risk factors . RESULTS The mean age was 68.8 ± 10.4 years ; 36.7 % were men . Of the participants , 19.9 % were non-Hispanic white ; 24.9 % , non-Hispanic black ; and 52.8 % , Hispanic ( > 80 % from the Caribbean ) . Hispanics had lower mean high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C ) and higher triglycerides (TG)/HDL-C. During a mean 8.9 years of follow-up , there were 163 incident MIs . In the whole cohort , all lipid profile components were associated with risk of MI in the expected directions . However , HDL-C ( adjusted HR per 10 mg/dL increase 0.93 , 95 % CI 0.76 - 1.12 ) and TG/HDL-C > 2 ( adjusted HR 0.89 , 95 % CI 0.51 - 1.55 ) were not predictive of MI among Hispanics but were predictive among non-Hispanic blacks and whites . Triglycerides/HDL-C per unit increase was associated with an 8 % higher risk of MI among Hispanics ( adjusted HR 1.08 , 95 % CI 1.04 - 1.12 ) . CONCLUSIONS In Hispanics , low HDL-C and TG/HDL-C > 2 were not associated with MI risk . Our data suggest that a different TG/HDL ratio cutoff may be needed among Hispanics to predict MI risk
