  • Title: Plasma lipoprotein cholesterol in India in healthy persons and those with coronary heart disease.
    Author: Shanmugasundaram KR, Suresh S, Misra KP, Jayakrishnan TK.
    Journal: Atherosclerosis; 1983 Jan; 46(1):129-35. PubMed ID: 6838689.
    Abstract:
    The plasma total cholesterol and lipoprotein cholesterol levels are presented for 186 healthy Indian subjects and 213 patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Plasma lipid and lipoprotein concentrations vary with age. Higher total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were noted in men compared with women. HDL cholesterol is highest in women in the age group 20-49 years. HDL cholesterol levels (negatively associated with CHD) are significantly higher in India compared with western countries. It is suggested that the high level of HDL cholesterol may be responsible for the relatively low incidence of CHD in India.
