Episode notes
Social Ties Are As Vital As Sleep
- Social connection strongly affects physical health and longevity beyond subjective well-being.
- Social isolation raises early death risk by about 50%, comparable to smoking or obesity.
ApoB Beats LDL‑C For Risk Prediction
- ApoB counts LDL particle number and predicts cardiovascular risk better than LDL-C alone.
- ApoB reveals risk especially when metabolic disease creates LDL–ApoB discordance.
Use Family History To Stratify Cardio Risk
- Ask about family history of heart disease, stroke, and hypertension to stratify risk early.
- Use family history to set imaging and ApoB targets with your doctor.
