With increasing levels of Lp(a), the risk of IHD/AVS hospitalisation was higher compared with oCVD in women across all ages (eβ = 1.023, p = 0.002 in age < 60 years, eβ = 1.011, p < 0.001 in age 60–75 years, and eβ = 1.010, p = 0.003 in age > 75 years), whereas in men, the risk was higher only in those aged 60–75 years (eβ = 1.011, p < 0.001) (Table 3). Here, LPA is linked to myocardial ischemia.
