The lipaemic index: clinical observations.

This study found that males were more likely to have a high lipaemic index (56%) and neonates were the group most frequently producing lipaemic samples (30.6%). The correlation between the lipaemic index and the triglyceride concentration showed an r2 value of only 0.37 (r = 0.61), and the correlation between cholesterol and lipaemic index showed an r2 value of 0.16 (r = -0.41). Male and neonatal samples were most likely to show a raised lipaemic index. There was a positive correlation between sample triglyceride and lipaemic index and an inverse correlation with cholesterol concentration and the lipaemic index, although this did not account for all the variance. Thus, other factors may also be important in the expression of the lipaemic index. PMID: 26126319 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
