Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Total cholesterol, triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol were measured in 2,306 boys, 1,716 girls, 2,479 fathers and 2,822 mothers examined on Visit 1 of the Jerusalem Lipid Research Clinics Prevalence Study in 1976-79. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol levels were estimated from the other three measurements. Using multiple regression analysis to control for body mass index, social class, season of the year and (in parents) age, we compared the three origin groups (Asian, North African and European, depending on the birthplace of the parents) with the Israeli-born group. In both fathers and mothers, the lower total cholesterol levels in the North African group, and to a lesser extent in the Asian, were explained mainly by lower LDL-cholesterol in these groups. In youngsters, the origin groups were characterized by differences not only in LDL-cholesterol, but also in other lipoprotein fractions. Social class in youngsters and mothers was associated mainly with the HDL-cholesterol fraction; in fathers it was associated only with triglycerides. Possible relationships of these findings to smoking, alcohol, exercise and female sex hormones are discussed. |
