Summary: This study investigated the association between infant growth before 6 months and lipid levels in adolescents. They found that faster length growth was associated with higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, while slower weight-for-length growth was associated with higher levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Summary: This study found that insulin resistance is closely associated with abnormal blood lipids and is independent of resistance in adipose tissue and liver. Insulin resistance is associated with antilipolysis and lipogenesis in adipocytes, which may be related to the expression of insulin receptor signaling pathways in adipose tissue.

Summary: This study found that pregnant U.S. women are widely exposed to PFAS in late pregnancy, with positive associations between PFAS exposure and serum-lipid concentrations. While most PFAS were not associated with birth weight, PFNA may be associated with preterm birth.

Summary: This systematic review examines the associations between perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and lipid concentrations in human populations. The results suggest that PFAS exposure is associated with higher levels of LDL, HDL, and TC, while the association with TG tends to be negative. Additionally, the study indicates a positive relationship between PFAS concentrations and cholesterol-related health outcomes. Further research is needed to investigate the effects of less-studied PFAS on human health.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between lipid profile and prevalence of hypertension in Chinese adult women. The results showed that TC, LDL-c, and non-HDL-c were positively associated with hypertension prevalence, while HDL-c was negatively associated with hypertension prevalence but became nonsignificant after full adjustment for variables.

Summary: Dyslipidemia is linked to endothelial dysfunction leading to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular complications. Breaking the progression from endothelial dysfunction to cardiovascular complications is clinically important in dyslipidemia patients. Lipid-lowering therapy improves endothelial function in dyslipidemia patients. The relationships of components of a lipid profile with endothelial function, such as LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides, are complex. This review focuses on exploring their roles.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the joint effect of body mass index (BMI) and serum lipids levels on incident dementia. The results showed that low BMI combined with low or high levels of serum lipids may increase the risk of dementia among older adults.

Summary: The study found that elevated total cholesterol, LDL-c, and non-HDL-c were related to the incidence of hypertension in Chinese adult males. Triglycerides, however, were not significantly associated. After adjusting for BMI, the relationship between HDL-c and hypertension shifted from no association to a positive correlation. The BN model showed that age, BMI, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and total cholesterol were strongly associated with hypertension incidence.

Summary: In this meta-analysis, the relationship between serum lipid profile and breast cancer risk was investigated. The results showed a negative association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level and breast cancer risk, while other indicators such as TG, TC, ApoA and LDL-C were not associated with breast cancer development.

Summary: Apolipoprotein C-II (ApoC-II) has an inverse J-shaped relationship with cardiovascular mortality, with the lowest risk observed in the middle quintile. Increasing low circulating ApoC-II levels may reduce cardiovascular risk.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the effects of various socio-demographic characteristics, abnormal cholesterol levels, and BMI indicators on depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation in the Korean population. The results showed that high triglyceride levels were a risk factor for depression in men, while blood lipid factors did not significantly affect suicidal ideation in males.

Summary: Genetically predicted causal associations were found between general and central obesity and GDM, with circulating lipids acting as potential mediators. The results indicated a direct effect of obesity on GDM risk, with lipid metabolism playing a role in the relationship.

Summary: The study found that there were significant differences in lipid profiles between hypertensive and normotensive populations, with total cholesterol and LDL levels closely associated with hypertension incidence. In women, atherogenic coefficient was found to have a good predictive value for the occurrence of hypertension.
