But its possible that high or low cholesterol (or HDL or LDL) causes deaths other than through vascular effects. I've seen nothing in the literature that suggests that...... As for deaths that are pretty random and clearly unrelated the idea would be to have a large enough and random enough sample that such deaths would tend to equalize in each group studied. There is a very large study published the Lancet which includes many thousands of people, hundreds of thousands in fact, and those results still support the conclusion that lowering the three values is good for cardiac health..... If higher than expected numbers of deaths appeared in one or more groups, I think it would have been noted... thelancet.com
