Plasma high density lipoproteins in coronary, cerebral and XXXX . The influence of various risk factors.

@entity1 @entity1095 @entity2175 @entity455 @entity101 @entity6 @entity165
High density lipoprotein (HDL) @entity165 and the HDL/total @entity165 ratio have been measured in 440 @entity1 with coronary, cerebral or @entity1095 and in 440 matched controls. The @entity1 were subdivided into sex- and age-groups and according to physical activity, smoking, @entity101 and @entity2175 . The average HDL @entity165 level was significantly decreased in all the three groups of localization of @entity455 ( @entity455 ). Plasma HDL concentration in @entity1 was lower than in @entity1 in every age-group. Lowest values were measured in @entity1 with @entity455 . From among the risk factors supposed to be related to @entity455 , lack of physical exercise resulted in a decrease of HDL @entity165 and HDL/total @entity165 values. In all the three localizations of @entity455 cigarette smokers had lower HDL levels than non-smokers. The influence of @entity101 on serum HDL concentration was not unidirectional. The coexistence of @entity2175 resulted in decreased lipid parameters. The sera of insulin-dependent @entity6 had higher HDL contents and higher HDL/total @entity165 ratios than those of non- @entity6 in all the three localizations of the @entity455 in @entity1 and in @entity1 suffering from @entity1095 .
