  • Title: Assessment of the age of atherosclerosis risk in population studies using a two factorial mathematical model.
    Author: Beier W, Agudo A, Vicent D, Ruiz-Torres A.
    Journal: Z Gerontol; 1991; 24(2):73-5. PubMed ID: 1877291.
    Abstract:
    The risk of atherosclerosis was assessed using a mathematical model of competition between LDL and HDL on 365 randomly selected persons. The results speak for the fact that the risk falls between the ages of 30 and 40 years for males, and 40 and 50 years for females. We are of the opinion that our procedure may be valid for sex comparison studies attempting to objectify the prevalence of atherosclerosis in population studies.
