Answer: c
On the basis of 2
measurements collected between ages 25 and 40 years, participants could
reliably be assigned to high (one quarter of the total sample) and low (one
third of the total sample) non-HDL-C groups. During the 30-year life course,
lipid level trajectories were generally stable, and mean non-HDL-C measured in
young adulthood was highly predictive of levels later in life. Among
participants with non-HDL-C <130 mg/dL at the first 2 examinations, 88%
remained below 160 mg/dL at subsequent 25-year testing. Risk for CVD in the
next 25 years was 22.6% in participants with high non-HDL-C in young adulthood
and 6.4% in those with low non-HDL-C.
