In Bangladesh, the risk of death due to heart disease is approximately 14.31%. Over the past decade, the death rate from heart attacks has surged significantly: 35 times for men and 48 times for women in the country. One of the key risk factors of cardiovascular diseases is a high level of LDL- or "bad" cholesterol in blood, since in combination with additional factors it causes atherosclerotic plaque development, which accumulates on the internal walls of blood vessels and blocks normal blood flow. Being aware of one’s non-HDL and apolipoprotein B levels is particularly important in case of diabetes, obesity, increased levels of triglycerides, as well as for people who have extremely low LDL-cholesterol levels because of treatment.
