Kim SA, et al. - Among participants (n=12,199, aged ≥ 20 years) from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, researchers assessed the link between a low carbohydrate diet (LCD) score and dyslipidemia. They found that women demonstrated a significant association of a higher LCD score with higher odds of hypercholesterolemia and lower odds of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. In addition, men showed a significant association of higher LCD scores with lower odds of hypertriglyceridemia. More specifically, a negative association of animal-based LCD scores with the odds of hypertriglyceridemia was reported in men. In order to prevent dyslipidemia in Korean adults, the researchers recommended considering the complex and combined influences of macronutrient composition on individual lipid components.
