Citizen Science Foundation studies correlation bet. LDL levels and heart disease

How is LDL correlated to heart diseases? People display different metabolic characters. According to the LMHR study which will be published in 2024, for those who have lean mass, LDL is very likely unrelated to the plaque in arteries.

This Citizen Science Foundation (CSF) operates similar to an "open source" community? Researches are funded by individual donors, much like an open source software project is grown on individual code contributors.

Their mission statement: Our mission is to advance the field of “Citizen Science” by empowering ideas from outside traditional avenues of academia and institutions. We believe that scientific achievements can come from anyone, regardless of their background or education level. Therefore, we actively support projects and events that promote collaborative efforts across the spectrum of disciplines, both in and outside formal scientific institutions. We believe that bringing people from different backgrounds and experiences together can lead to new discoveries and innovative approaches to scientific research. https://citizensciencefoundation.org/about-us/
