Abstract
ApoB and the apoB/apoA-I ratio were strong predictors of coronary events in middle-aged men and women, whereas apoA-I did not add significantly to the estimation of future coronary risk.

People with average TC and LDL-C levels and below-average HDL-C may obtain significant clinical benefit from primary-prevention lipid modification, and on-treatment apoB, especially when combined with apoAI to form the apOB/AI ratio, may be a more accurate predictor than LDL- C of risk for first AMCE.

Plasma apoB and the various cholesterol indexes are complementary rather than competitive indexes of atherosclerotic risk and provide further evidence as to why measurement of apiB should be part of a standard lipoprotein assessment of CAD risk.
