Serum Lipoproteins and Coronary Heart Disease in a Population Study of Hawaii Japanese Men

Rhoads, George G., Gulbrandsen, Christian L., Kagan, Abraham·1976·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

To ascertain the frequency of defined hyperlipoproteinemia and to investigate the relation between lipoprotein fractions and coronary heart disease, we measured serum lipoprotein cholesterol levels in a population-based sample of Hawaii Japanese men 50 to 72 years old. Type II hyperlipoproteinemia was present in 3 per cent of 1859 men, and Type IV in 26 per cent. Relative risks for coronary heart disease, based on 264 prevalence cases, were found to be 1.8, 1.8 and 0.46, between the upper and lower quartiles of total, beta, and alpha cholesterol, respectively. We found no significant relation between triglyceride and coronary heart disease. The inverse relation of alpha cholesterol of prevalence of coronary heart disease was independent of beta cholesterol, obesity, and other factors. The data suggest the need for further evaluation of the protective effect of the alpha lipoprotein fraction on the development of coronary heart disease.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
