Decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particle size, cholesterol poor, apolipoprotein A-I-rich HDL particles leading to smaller HDL particle size, may be associated with an anti-atherosclerotic effect. The data are sparse regarding the relationship between n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids [n-3 PUFAs: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)] and HDL particle size. This study was designed as a hospital-based cross-sectional study to investigate the relationship between the serum levels of n-3 PUFAs and the HDL-cholesterol/apolipoprotein A-1 ratio, as estimated by the HDL particle size, in patients with the presence of one or more risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Six hundred and forty sequential patients were enrolled in this study. The serum levels of EPA and DHA showed a strong correlation (r = 0.736, p &lt; 0.0001). However, in a multivariate regression analysis after adjustment for ASCVD risk factors, increased serum DHA (β = - 0.745, p = 0.021), but not serum EPA (β = - 0.414, p = 0.139) or EPA + DHA (β = 0.330, p = 0.557) level, was identified as an independent indicator of decreased HDL particle size. In 476 patients followed up for at least 6 months, the absolute change (Δ) in the HDL-cholesterol/apolipoprotein A-1 ratio decreased significantly as the quartile of the Δ DHA level increased (p = 0.014), whereas no significant difference in the Δ HDL-cholesterol/apolipoprotein A-1 ratio was noted with the increase in the quartile of the Δ EPA level. Moreover, a multivariate regression analysis identified increased DHA level and decreased estimated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particle size measured relative to the mobility value of LDL with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (i.e., relative LDL migration: LDL-Rm value), as independent predictors of decreased HDL-cholesterol/apolipoprotein A-1 ratio (β = - 0.171, p = 0.0003 and β = - 0.142, p = 0.002). The results suggest that increased serum DHA level, but not EPA level, might be associated with decreased HDL-cholesterol/apolipoprotein A-1 ratio, an indicator of estimated HDL particle size. Further studies are needed to investigate the useful clinical indices and outcomes of these patients.
