title: [Total cholesterol, triglyceride and alpha-lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the blood of 40- to 59-year-old men in Moscow and Leningrad].
abstract: A population survey of 6.990 males 40--59 years of age living in Moscow and Leningrad was conducted to determine the level of lipids in blood plasma by means of automatic standard biochemical methods. Curves were built of the distribution of the concentration of total cholesterol, triglycerides and alpha-lipoprotein cholesterol, and the average content, the upper levels of the norm (and the lower level of the norm for alpha-lipoprotein cholesterol too) were determined from them. The average content of total cholesterol was 217 mg/100 ml, that of triglycerides 100 mg/100 ml, and that of alpha-lipoprotein cholesterol 50 mg/100 ml. The upper norm levels for total and alpha-lipoprotein cholesterol found by cutting off 10% of the higher values were 270 and 75 mg/100 ml, respectively; the upper norm level for triglycerides (cutting off 5% of the higher values) was 250 mg/100 ml. The lower norm level for alpha-lipoprotein cholesterol (cutting off 10% of the lower values) was 35 mg/100 ml.
