Department of Biochemistry Researcher Furthers Understanding of Cholesterol (Comparison of ten formulae for calculating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol with direct low-density lipoprotein cholesterol measurement).

A study conducted in Karnataka, India, compared ten formulas for calculating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) with direct measurement among 114 participants. Vujovic's formula showed a strong correlation with direct LDL-C estimation, outperforming other formulas. The research concluded that using Vujovic's formula enhances the accuracy of LDL-C assessment and improves cardiovascular disease risk management in clinical practice. The study was published in Current Medicine Research and Practice and can be accessed for free online. [Extracted from the article]
