Aims: Small dense (sd) low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol (C) is the most powerful predictor of cardiovascular (CV) disease among lipid biomarkers and is generated by hypertriglyceridemia and insulin resistance. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a newly proposed...
