    Journal: J Med; 2000; 31(5-6):262-70. PubMed ID: 11508319.
    Abstract:
    In order to establish the age-adjusted standard values of lipids in both sexes in Japan, we examined the plasma levels of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglyceride levels in 1262 healthy Japanese subjects (male 616, female 646). LDL-cholesterol levels in women increased significantly in relation to menopause as it rises from 112 mg/dL in 40 year olds to 131.2 mg/dL in 50 year olds. Menopause seems to affect the triglyceride levels as well. These age- and sex-dependent changes should be considered in evaluation of patients' lipid profiles.
