日本人群的冠心病死亡率较其他工业化国家人群的死亡率低。我们调查了以不同生活方式的六个日本人群的高密度脂蛋白-胆固醇(HDL-C)水平,(男性1,804名、女性1,561名)。发现40～69岁男性日本人的HDL-C接近55mg％,或约高于同年龄组的男性美国人10mg％。近来,HDL-C对冠心病的予防作用已得到广泛的注意。我们研究日本人群是否因HDL-C水平高而冠心病死亡率低。
The Japanese population has a lower rate of death from coronary heart disease than other industrialized countries. We investigated HDL-C levels in six Japanese populations with different lifestyles (1,804 males and 1,561 females). It was found that HDL-C in Japanese men aged 40-69 was approximately 55 mg%, or approximately 10 mg% higher than male Americans in the same age group. Recently, the preventive effect of HDL-C on coronary heart disease has received extensive attention. We investigated if the Japanese population had a high risk of coronary heart disease due to high HDL-C levels.
