title: Serum lipid and apolipoprotein levels in a Tibetan population sample.
abstract: Serum lipid and apolipoprotein levels were measured in a Tibetan population sample. In both men and women serum cholesterol levels were markedly lower than in Western populations. In men HDL-cholesterol levels were higher compared to both Oriental and Western populations while in women the values were markedly higher than in other Oriental populations and similar to Western populations. Highly significant positive relationships were found between serum lipid levels and corresponding apolipoprotein levels. In men but not in women serum cholesterol was markedly higher in office workers than in factory workers.
