Cálculo de la concentración de colesterol de la lipoproteína de baja densidad: análisis de regresión versus fórmula de Friedewald
The Friedewald formula is used to estimate cholesterol of low density lipoprotein (LDL) from total cholesterol (CT), cholesterol of high density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglycerides (TG), but there are doubts about its precision. Aim: To compare Friedewald formula and regression analysis for the calc...

Aim: To compare Friedewald formula and regression analysis for the calculation of LDL cholesterol. Material and methods: One hundred and fifty plasma samples from asymptomatic adults (aged 47.7 ± 13 years, 50.6% male) were analyzed. CT, HDL, LDL and TG were determined by enzymatic methods.

Results: Mean total cholesterol was 175.3 ± 39.7 mg/dl, HDL cholesterol was 35.57 ± 0.8 mg/dl and TG was 128.4 ± 65.4 mg/dl. Mean values for LDL cholesterol were significantly higher than those estimated by the Friedewald formula (136.4 ± 37.9 mg/dl and 114.1 ± 37.4 mg/dl respectively, p<0.001) with a mean underestimation of 16.4 ± 11.7%.
