This prospective study evaluated the association between triglyceride (TG) levels and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in the general population, particularly in individuals with well-controlled low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. The TG levels log-linearly increased the mortality from CVD, especially ischaemic heart disease and ischaemic stroke, down to at least 50â
mg/dL (0.56â
mmol/L), as residual CVD risks associated with high TG were apparent in individuals, even with LDL-C < 100â
mg/dL (2.59â
mmol/L). Maintaining TG levels below 100â
mg/dL may be beneficial even in seemingly low-risk groups, such as young people with normal or optimal LDL-C levels.
