Postprandial Lipid Concentrations and Daytime Biological Variation of Lipids in a Healthy Chinese Population

摘要

BackgroundSeveral latest guidelines and consensus statements from Europe and the United States specify that there is no need for fasting prior to routine lipid tests. However, the latest Chinese guidelines still recommend fasting tests owing to a lack of local evidence. This study aimed to investigate postprandial lipid concentrations and daytime biological variation of lipids in a healthy Chinese population.
