Association between oxidized LDL, obesity and type 2 diabetes in a population-based cohort, the Health, Aging and Body Composition Study

Title: Association between oxidized ldl, obesity and type 2 diabetes in a population-based cohort, the health, aging and body composition study.

Comments: "No significant association was found between oxLDL and incident T2D. Interestingly, oxLDL was significantly associated with % change in T2D- and obesity-related traits in whites but not in blacks.Our data suggest that systemic oxidative stress may be a novel risk factor for T2D and obesity."
