  • Title: [Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL in aggressive elderly patients with dementia].
    Author: Scheffel A.
    Journal: Psychiatr Pol; 1996; 30(1):159-70. PubMed ID: 8722248.
    Abstract:
    Associations were analysed between serum concentrations of cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL and LDL measured after hospital admission, and physical aggression in a sample of elderly patients with dementia (210 women and 160 men). A significant lower serum cholesterol and LDL concentration were found in aggressive patients of both sexes and a significant lower serum triglycerides only in aggressive women. In the subgroups of Alzheimer type dementia, women showed significant lower serum triglycerides, and aggressive men significant lower LDL concentration compared with non-aggressive controls. There were no significant differences in serum HDL between aggressive and non-aggressive patients.
