Age- and sex-specific reference values for non-HDL cholesterol and remnant cholesterol derived from the Nordic Reference Interval Project (NORIP).

Age- and sex-specific reference intervals should be used for the triglyceride rich lipid variables non-HDL-C and remnant cholesterol. Since these markers may add information on risk burden beyond LDL-C, our hope is that these reference intervals will aid the introduction of automatic reporting of non-HDL-C by hospital laboratories.
