title: Prevalence of plasma lipoprotein abnormalities in the farming village of Tanushimaru and the fishing village of Ushibuka. From the epidemiological aspects.
abstract: A prospective survey was made on the population of two village in order to compare the frequency of plasma lipoprotein abnormalities in the two cohorts. The inhabitants of the farming village and those of the fishing village had different mode of life, especially eating habits, and different incidence rates of heart attack and brain stroke, but invariably had low serum cholesterol levels. The results of the study indicated that the nature and frequency of plasma lipoprotein abnormalities made vary with difference eating habits. However, the way in which this variance is related to the development into heart attack and brain stroke in the two populations remains to be settled by further follow-up study.
