title: [Serum cholesterol concentrations in various basic diseases. Studies in 2466 hospital patients].
abstract: In 2466 in-patients the blood cholesterol concentration was measured. Also age, height, weight, excretory liver function, glucose tolerance, the concentration of total lipids, uric acid and the clinical diagnosis were correlated with the cholesterol levels. Higher cholesterol levels were found in elderly patients and in patients with impairment of liver function, glucose tolerance and with overweight. With increasing hight cholesterol decreases.
