Association Between Lipid Profile and Risk of Incident Systemic Sclerosis: A Nationwide Population-Based Study.

Serum levels of TC, HDL-C, and LDL-C were inversely associated with the risk of incident SSc. Our findings provide new insights that altered lipid profile could be considered a non-causal biomarker associated with incident SSc, which could help early diagnosis. The underlying mechanism for this association needs further studies.
