2022, Journal of Sexual MedicineCitation Excerpt :Dyslipidemia represents a vascular insult to the endothelial cells, as well; together with smoking and hypertension, it is responsible for more than 75% of all CVDs worldwide.57 Increased levels of LDL-C have been identified as the principle lipid parameter in both genders,58,59 whereas different lipids and lipoproteins have been demonstrated to be particularly strong risk predictors in women.60 Moreover, hypertriglyceridemia has been recognized as a significant independent CVD risk factor, although this association seems not to be as tight as that for hypercholesterolemia.61
