- Abstract
In a prospective epidemiologic study in Company employees in Westfalia aimed at improving early diagnosis of coronary heart disease in 3069 men and 1387 womeii, concentrations of HDL apolipoprotein A-I and HDL-cholesterol were measured and the results were correlated with several risk factors of coronary heart disease. A negative correlation between hypertriglyceridaemia and HDL-cholesterol (r =- 0.25♂; - 0.27♀; p < 0.001) and between relative body weight and HDL-cholesterpl (r =- 0.21 ♂; - 0.20♀; p < 0.001) could be shown but not between hypertriglyceridaemia and HDL-apolipoprotein A-I and between relative body weight and HDL-apolipoprotein A-L In cigarette smokers HDL-apolipoprotein A-I as well as HDL-cholesterol were found to be lower than in non-smokers. On the pther hand HDL-apolipoproteih A-I but not HDL-cholesterol was positively correlated with systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
