RESUMEN
Introducción Estudios recientes demostraron que el nivel de apolipoproteína A1 (ApoA) es un mejor predictor de riesgo cardiovascular que el C-HDL. Sin embargo, las metas definitivas de este nuevo marcador aún no se han definido claramente. Objetivo Inferir metas de ApoA analizando una población saludable. Material y métodos Se analizó la distribución de ApoA y C-HDL en 304 donantes de sangre según el sexo. Se infirieron metas de ApoA mediante dos estrategias: 1) un modelo de regresión lineal y 2) análisis de percentiles. Resultados En el análisis de percentiles, valores de ApoA de 126 y 147 mg/dl se correspondieron con metas recomendadas de C-HDL en hombres y mujeres, respectivamente. El modelo de regresión lineal mostró que 40 y 50 mg/dl de C-HDL se correspondieron con 140 y 158 mg/dl de ApoA en hombres y mujeres, respectivamente. Conclusión Los hallazgos del presente estudio sugieren que los valores propuestos previamente como metas de ApoA en ambos sexos deberían revisarse.
ABSTRACT
Which should be the goals of apolipoprotein A1? Analysis of a healthy population in Argentina Background Recent studies have demonstrated that apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA) is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than HDLC. However, the definite goals of this new marker have not been clearly defined. Objective The objective of this study was to infer the goals of ApoA from a healthy population. Methods The distribution of ApoA and HDL-C in 304 blood donors was analyzed according to gender. ApoA goals were assumed using two strategies: 1) a simple linear regression model, and 2) percentile analyses. Results In the percentile analyses, ApoA levels of 126 and 147 mg/ dL corresponded to recommended goals for HDL-C in men and women, respectively. The linear regression model showed that 40 and 50 mg/dL HDL-C corresponded to 140 and 158 mg/dL ApoA in men and women, respectively. Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that previously postulated ApoA goals should be reviewed in both genders.
