The Role of Obesity in the Association Between Alcohol Consumption and HDL‐c Levels: Baependi Heart Study

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a leading cause of global mortality, with dyslipidemia playing a central role in their pathogenesis. The influence of alcohol consumption on lipid profiles, particularly high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐c), in relation to obesity status remains insufficiently explored.
