title: [Study of critical values of plasma concentration of cholesterol in hospitalized patients by an enzymatic method].
abstract: The concentration of plasma cholesterol was measured in 794 women and 832 men by a method of enzyme analysis. The populations studied were composed of patients in hospital. The critical values were drawn up using parametric and nonparametric statistical methods. The serum cholesterol varied in these populations between 3.0 and 8.5 mmol/l and neither age nor sex modified seriously these values.
