After the age of fifty, low cholesterol is clearly associated with an increased risk of dying from a variety of causes. A study of old women indicated that a cholesterol level of 270 mg. per 100 ml. was associated with the best longevity (Forette, et al., 1989). "Mortality was lowest...
Multivariable regression analyses were used to determine predictors of lipid levels and the need for initiation of lipid-lowering therapy during the follow-up period. Results Of 1302 subjects (69 卤 6.5 years; 53% women), 510 (39.2%) reported a history of hyperlipidemia at baseline. During ...
Compared to the desirable levels of <200 mg/dL (Supplementary TableS3), borderline high levels of 200–239 mg/dL were associated with a lower risk of mortality in each age-sex group except for women aged 18–34 years, while high levels of ≥240 mg/dL were associated with a decre...
Blood cholesterol levels are correlated with production of amyloid β protein (Aβ), and are predictors of populations at risk of developing AD. Methods for lowering blood cholesterol levels can be used to decrease production of Aβ, thereby decreasing the risk of developing AD. The same methods...
Elevated serum cholesterol levels have been shown to be associated with premature atherosclerosis in adolescents and young adults. The National Cholesterol Education Program recommends cholesterol screening for all adults aged 20 years or older, but normative data on the college-age population are limited...

A previous study30 has reported that hypertriglyceridemia with a prevalence of 10.8% is the main type of lipid disorders in Chinese older than 60 years, especially in older women, which is in line with results of our previous study 21. In the present study, all levels of LDL-C, TC and ...

However, in the older age groups, there is a slight but consistently higher mean serum cholesterol level for men as com pared with that for women until the age group 45-54 years. Thereafter the mean levels for men show a plateau effect and a slight decrease, while the mean levels ...
