AB  - Population-based data on the distribution of lipoprotein(a) (Lp[a]) within the German population are lacking.The aim of the study was to determine the age- and sex-specific Lp(a) distribution in Germany and analyze its association with different types of cardiovascular disease (CVD).We analyzed cross-sectional data from the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998, a population-based study representing the German adult population's health status from 1997 to 1999. We examined serum Lp(a) according to demographics and investigated associations between Lp(a) and history of self-reported CVD. We tested Lp(a) in spline analysis on continuous scales and as dichotomous Lp(a) thresholds.In the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey 1998 (n = 6,657), median Lp(a) was 15.3 mg/dL (Q1-Q3: 5.6, 43.1). Lp(a) levels ≥50 mg/dL were present in 21.6
