Lipopolysaccharide binding protein is associated with CVD risk in older adults.

CONCLUSION: Lower risk for CVD was associated with higher circulating concentrations of LBP, lower iFABP, and lower systemic inflammation in older adults. Further, there were small positive relationships between total and LDL cholesterol and circulating levels of LBP. These data suggest LBP may be a key component in reducing CVD risk in older adults.
