Background: Not only low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol but also non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol (VLDL-C), and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) cholesterol (IDL-C) are reported to be significant risk markers for coronary heart disease (CHD). We reported the relevance of IDL-C to Framingham risk score (F-score), but the present study addressed the relevance of IDL-C to Suita score (S-score), a risk score for coronary heart disease (CHD) developed for the Japanese individuals in addition to F-score.Methods: The cholesterol levels of lipoproteins, including triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins (IDL and VLDL), were measured by an anion exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (AEX-HPLC). This study enrolled 476 men, aged mean 51 years and free of CHD and stroke.Results: Non-HDL-C, IDL-C, and VLDL-C significantly correlated with F-score and S-score. In the multiple stepwise regression analysis, IDL-C as well as body mass index (BMI) significantly correlated with both F-score and S-score in both the total subjects and the subjects without drug therapy. The multivariate logistic analysis with the model composed of BMI and IDL-C as the predictor variables demonstrated that 1 SD increase in IDL-C was an independent predictor for 10-year CHD risk >10% of F-score (OR 1.534, 95% CI 1.266–1.859, p < 0001) and that of S-score (OR 1.372, 95% CI 1.130–1.667, p = 0.0014) in the total subjects. Even in the subjects without the drug therapy, the increased IDL-C, as well as BMI, were significant predictors for 10-year CHD risk >10% of S-score as well as F-score.Conclusion: These results suggest the significant relevance of the increased IDL-C for CHD risk scores in middle-aged men free of CHD and stroke. Further investigations are needed in women and elderly subjects.

1. The transport of apoprotein B from the lipoproteins of plasma into the lipoproteins of lymph draining the foot has been studied in four men with type III hyperlipoproteinaemia. 2. Three subjects were given autologous 125I-labelled very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and 131I-labelled low-density lipoprotein (LDL) by intravenous injection; the fourth was given autologous 125I-labelled VLDL and 131I-labelled intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) plus LDL. 3. The 125I/131I ratios in serum and lymph apoprotein B, and the 125I and 131I specific radioactivities of apoprotein B in VLDL, IDL and LDL from serum and lymph, indicate that apoprotein B in the circulating VLDL can reach peripheral lymph without the intermediacy of circulating LDL.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDie diabetische Stoffwechsellage korreliert häufig mit einer Dyslipidämie, die sich typischerweise durch erhöhte Triglyzeride, niedriges HDL-Cholesterin und eine hohe Konzentration an small dense LDL-Cholesterin (LDL: low-density lipoprotein) auszeichnet. Zur kardiovaskulären Risikostratifizierung bei Diabetes mellitus Typ 2 eignet sich die Verwendung von Non-HDL-Cholesterin (HDL: high-density lipoprotein), um sämtliche potenziell atherogene Lipoproteine – VLDL (very-low-density lipoprotein), IDL (intermediate-density lipoprotein), LDL, Lipoprotein(a), Chylomikronen, Remnants – zu erfassen.
