1/ Interesting thread by @mak_sysepi regarding a recent study on HDL-C with a massive sampling -- 15.8 million! academic.oup.com/ije/advance-ar…
Note this tracks my favorite metric, All Cause Mortality.

2/ If you already follow my work, you've known for some time that I value looking to HDL-C alongside triglycerides. In particular, I like to compare the "low carb lipid triad" to atherogenic dyslipidemia. HDL-C is a very important part of each...
3/ The paper we're working on for the Lipid Energy Model focuses on studies that demonstrate HDL-C going up and down as it relates to metabolism, both in a health and diseased state.
It's worth noting a very common association of high HDL is alcoholism.

4/ So if I'm reading this right, we can combine the 3-4 and 5-7 days a week drinkers to all three groupings:
Low HDL-C: 10.9%
Med HDL-C: 12.8%
High HDL-C: 14.8%
Certainly it's reasonable to consider some amount of the high HDL-C hazard ratio could be impacted by alcohol use...

5/ Even so, it's still doing substantially better where compared to low HDL-C.
That said, I sure would love to further stratify by low TG given the total volume we have to work with in this data.
