LPA and diabetes mellitus: Finally, when adjusting for all covariates, age, BMI, diabetes mellitus, smoking, cholesterol, and LDL-C, HRs were 1.0 (0.4–2.7) in the elevated (30–50 mg/dl) Lp(a) group and 2.1 (1.0–4.2) (P = 0.05) in high Lp(a) group, thus demonstrating a limited impact on other traditional risk factors on the impact of Lp(a) in ACS development.
