ApoB 112 → 82: What -27% Means
The particle count behind heart risk — explained by physicians, with the numbers from our example report.
ApoB · mg/dL
112 → 82
↘ -27%
ApoB (apolipoprotein B) counts every atherogenic particle in your blood — LDL, VLDL and Lp(a). Fewer particles means less plaque building in your arteries. Guidelines consider under 90 mg/dL optimal for most adults, under 80 mg/dL for high risk.
Why ApoB beats LDL alone
LDL-C measures cholesterol mass; ApoB counts particles. Two people with the same LDL can carry very different particle numbers — and risk. That is why Cardiometabolic Health 88 tracks ApoB first.
Reference ranges (mg/dL)
- ✓ Under 90 — optimal for most adults (ESC/AACE primary prevention).
- ✓ 90–109 — borderline: lifestyle action recommended.
- ✓ 110 and above — elevated: our example started at 112. Talk to your physician.
How to lower it
More soluble fiber and fewer saturated fats, regular aerobic exercise, healthy weight and good sleep move ApoB down. Our example reached 82 (-27%) with a personalized plan. Medication exists too — always decided with a physician.
