This study confirms an independent link between high concentrations of Triglyceride–Rich–Lipoproteins (i.e. the sum of VLDL–C plus IDL–C) and the risk of carotid atherosclerosis in post–menopausal women aged >60 years. Additionally, it was concluded that the measurement of the level of Triglyceride–Rich lipoproteins serves as a useful tool for improving the assessment of the risk of cardiovascular disease in post–menopausal women.
