• Description:
  This report compares LDL-C as calculated by the Friedewald, Martin, and Sampson equations in a nationally representative sample of adults with triglycerides <400 mg/dL across the distribution of clinical cut points for LDL-C (<70 mg/dL, 70 – <100 mg/dL, 100 – <160 mg/dL, 160 – <190 mg/dL, and ≥190 mg/dL) to assess the impact of equation choice on national estimates.
