Fracture risk up with higher levels of HDL-C in healthy seniors
Findings highlight another potential concern with high HDL-C levels, authors say

Epidemiologist Dr Sultana Monira Hussain, from Monash University in Melbourne, and colleagues examined whether higher HDL-cholesterol (C) levels are predictive of increased fracture risk in older adults.
