Lipoprotein Particle Optimization

Meaning

Lipoprotein Particle Optimization is a specialized clinical strategy focused on managing the concentration and size distribution of various lipoprotein particles, such as LDL and HDL, rather than relying solely on traditional cholesterol mass measurements. This advanced approach recognizes that the number of atherogenic particles, particularly small, dense LDL, is a more accurate and precise predictor of cardiovascular risk than total cholesterol or LDL-C alone. Optimal hormonal health, especially balanced thyroid and sex hormones, is intrinsically linked to a favorable lipoprotein profile, making this optimization a cornerstone of longevity medicine.
