title: [Relationship of the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in blood plasma in racial groups in Cuba].
abstract: Content of cholesterol and total triglycerides was studied in blood plasma of 397 healthy volunteers, 299 of which belonged to white race and 99 persons--to negroid race (mulatto and negroes). Distinct variations were not found in content of total triglycerides in these both groups. However, statistically significant dissimilarity was detected in distribution of hypercholesterolemia as compared with normocholesterolemia and normotriglyceridemia, hypocholesterolemia--with hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia--with normotriglyceridemia in race groups. The same analysis should be performed in "mixed race group" which constitutes the main population of Cuba.
