Özet
Lipoprotein (a) is a well-known cardiovascular risk factor, and its level is primarily determined genetically. Because of its genetic basis, average Lipoprotein (a) levels may vary between different populations. In Türkiye, the average Lipoprotein (a) level remains uncertain due to the limited number of large population studies. Herein, we aimed to provide an overview of Türkiye's average Lipoprotein (a) levels by reviewing data from the available studies on Lipoprotein (a) in the Turkish population.
