My claim is that the following statement has reasonably good evidence to back
it up:
"A change of 1 unit in the ratio of total cholesterol to high density
lipoprotein-bound cholesterol, is associated with a 53% change in the risk of
myocardial infarction"
...paraphrased from Mensink et al., 2003
The evidence to back this claim up is published in this peer-reviewed paper:
Stampfer MJ, Sacks FM, Salvini S, Willett WC, Hennekens CH. (1991) A
prospective study of cholesterol, apolipoproteins, and the risk of myocardial
infarction, N Engl J Med., 325(6):373-81.
Cheers,
Santosh
