As for race, elevated Lp(a) could predict premature ASCVD in South Asians (OR: 3.71, 95% CI: 2.31–5.96, P < 0.001) and white patients (OR: 3.17, 95% CI: 2.22–4.52, P < 0.001) but not in Chinese (OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 0.99–1.45, P = 0.06) (see Supplementary material online, Figure S5). Here, LPA is linked to atherosclerosis.
