@ZahcM @realDaveFeldman @DudzLightLime How many ApoB can dance on the head of a pin? Non-HDL-cholesterol as valid surrogate to apolipoprotein B100 measurement in diabetes: Discriminant Ratio and unbiased equivalence https://t.co/0hy7UN31ZV
@HeatherFurnas @Drlipid Your 1st estimation comes from this paper (non-HDL-C as valid surrogate to apoB in diabetics): https://t.co/g8qaIGn5Gb Your 2nd estimation comes from this paper (estimation of apoB using a standard lipid test in apparently healthy
For those with diabetes, this equation *may* be more accurate. Of course, the best would just be to measure ApoB. https://t.co/g8qaIGn5Gb (Non-HDL-cholesterol as valid surrogate to apolipoprotein B100 measurement in diabetes: Discriminant Ratio and unbias
@theproof @MohammedAlo @JPfundston @DIY_Tardis There are ways to estimate ApoB from non-HDL-C (see this algorithm: https://t.co/g8qaIGn5Gb), but you can't just convert it directly. ApoB and non-HDL-C isn't using the same scale, so to speak.
