R3i Article: More evidence linking remnant cholesterol and cardiovascular outcomes
Our recent Mendelian randomization study including more than 900,000 subjects showed a robust genetic causal association between remnant cholesterol and cardiovascular outcomes.

Bad” cholesterol isn’t the only culprit linked with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, according to a trio of recent University of Alberta studies — including landmark global research — showing that a different kind of cholesterol is also a strong risk factor for people worldwide.
Remnant cholesterol (RC) was confirmed as a strong risk factor for coronary heart disease, heart attacks and stroke, the largest of the studies showed. RC is produced from the metabolism of triglycerides that come from sources of dietary fat and from the body’s own stores of cholesterol particles.
Using genomic data from a combined sample of almost one million participants — spanning Africa, Asia, North America and Europe — the findings are the first to show, on such a large scale, a causal link between high RC and risk of cardiovascular illness.

While ERASE cannot suggest clinical advice online, we can provide the published data that might help people make their own conclusion to get remnant cholesterol measured. Below are two of our articles:

What the Health: Let’s Talk Cardiovascular Health and Nutrition
February is Heart Month in Canada and this month’s What the Health talk is all about heart health. Come and learn from Dr. Spencer Proctor about the connection between the metabolism of fats in both younger populations, as well the relationship between fat intolerance and high remnant cholesterol in female cohorts.

By testing the blood for remnant cholesterol (RC), made by the body during the day as food is consumed, our studies show that this non-fasting type of cholesterol is a strong predictor of health risk in young people with obesity.
