Visit-to-visit variability of lipid measurements and the risk of myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality: A prospective cohort study

Previous studies suggested that increased visit-to-visit variability in lipid measurements is associated with cardiovascular disease in specific or high-risk populations. Because it is unknown whether this notion applies to the general population, we investigated whether lipid variability has additive effects on the risk of all-cause mortality and myocardial infarction (MI) in the general population.
