title: [Distribution of apolipoprotein A I and B in the blood according to age and gender, as well as their relation to blood cholesterol levels in the Hungarian blood donor population].
abstract: In this study we assessed the plasma CHOL, HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), apoprotein A I, apoprotein B levels and the polymorphic isoforms of apoprotein A I in Hungarian blood donors (n = 202, average age: 37.5 year). The mean values are presented for age and sex groups, and the data are compared to the international measurements. The mean CHOL concentration was 5.7 +/- 1.1 mmol/l. The CHOL level correlated with age and no significant association was observed with sex. The level of HDL-C showed no correlation with the age and--in opposite to the international data--there were no significant sex differences (women: 1.42 +/- 0.45, men: 1.34 +/- 0.44 mmol/l), which may be explained by the relative high HDL-C concentration of Hungarian men. Both apo A I and apo B showed an increase with advancing age. The only difference between the sexes was found in apoprotein A I levels, i. e. it was higher in women than in men (women: 156.3 +/- 23.6, men: 143.8 +/- 26.8 mg/dl). In contrary with the results from other countries, the apoprotein B concentrations in men did not differ from that measured in women (women: 72.1 +/- 17.4, men: 69 +/- 15.8 mg/dl). In relation to the age, in the fifth decade the CHOL, the HDL-C and the apo B levels were higher in women than in men.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
