Abstract

The relationship of alcohol intake to plasma lipids and lipoproteins was assessed in 1603 white children, ages 12-19 years, from six Lipid Research Clinics as part of the Lipid Research Clinics Collaborative Population Studies. Of the 1603 children, 933 came from a randomly recalled group and 660 from a group recalled because of elevated cholesterol or triglyceride or both (the hyperlipidemic recall group). Using multiple regression analysis, the relationships of lipoproteins (as dependent variables) to alcohol, smoking, age and body mass (as explanatory variables) are assessed in both recall groups. In the random recall group, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was positively related to alcohol intake, independent of the other variables considered; for every ounce of alcohol intake, HDL cholesterol was 0.55 mg/dl higher in males and 1.04 mg/dl higher in females. HDL cholesterol was strongly and inversely related to smoking and body mass in both males and females and was inversely related to age in males. In females, plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol were all positively related to alcohol intake. In the hyperlipidemic recall group of child...Continue Reading

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
