Relation of serum total XXXX and high-density lipoprotein @entity165 percentage to the incidence of definite coronary events: twenty-year follow-up of the Donolo-Tel Aviv Prospective Coronary Artery Disease Study.

@entity1 @entity583 @entity165 @entity301
This 20-year follow-up report presents the incidence of definite coronary events and its relation to serum total @entity165 (TC) and alpha-lipoprotein @entity165 percentage (percentage of serum TC bound with alpha-lipoprotein), now usually called high-density lipoprotein @entity165 percentage (HDL-C%). The cohort consists of 1,454 @entity1 and 1,481 @entity1 , presumably healthy, aged 35 to 64 years at the time of entrance examination in 1964. During the follow-up period 123 @entity1 and 44 @entity1 died from @entity301 . Ninety-six @entity1 and 42 @entity1 had nonfatal @entity583 . The incidence of definite coronary events increased from 6% in @entity1 with TC levels of less than 200 mg/dl to 25% in @entity1 with levels of more than 264 mg/dl. The corresponding figures in @entity1 were 3% and 10%. The incidence of definite coronary events was inversely correlated to HDL-C%. The incidence of definite coronary events in 225 @entity1 with HDL-C% of less than 14% was 28%, and in 669 @entity1 with HDL-C% of 21% or more, 7%. The corresponding figures in 234 @entity1 with HDL-C% of less than 17% was 14%, and in 853 @entity1 with HDL-C% of 23% or more, 2%. Two HDL-C% subsets were assessed: "low" and "high" subsets refer to HDL-C% of less than 21% and 21% or more, respectively, in @entity1 and less than 23% and 23% or more in @entity1 .(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
