The correlation coefficients of Friedewald’s and Ahmadi’s LDL-c equations with direct measurement in determining levels of LDL-c from 5 matching studies. Though both equations established a positive correlation with the direct method of measuring LDL-c, the Friedewald’s LDL-c equation presented with a stronger positive correlation with the direct method [0.95 (95% CI 0.90–0.98)] than the Ahmadi’s LDL-c equation [0.65 (95% CI 0.46–0.78)]
