| Interpretive Data: |
LDL Type A: Indicative of Type A (mainly large LDL). The mean particle diameter of Type A is greater than or equal to 268.0 angstrom.
LDL Inter: Intermediate phenotype is 265.1 to 267.9 angstrom. Intermediate size LDL may be associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease.
LDL Type B: Indicative of Type B (mainly small dense LDL). The mean particle diameter of Type B is less than or equal to 265.0 angstrom. Small dense LDL is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease.
