Abstract

Background and Aims : Lipoprotein(a) is a well-known causal risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Little is known about the effect of age and sex on lipoprotein(a) levels, and it is largely unknown if the same elevation in lipoprotein(a) confer the same increase in risk of morbidity and mortality in women and men. We hypothesized that lipoprotein(a) levels and lipoprotein(a) associated risk of morbidity and mortality by age are similar in women and men.
