title: [Lipemia and apolipoproteinemia B in overweight, smoking men aged 30 to 55 years].
abstract: Serum concentrations of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and apolipoprotein B were studied in male subjects with no known risk factor for coronary heart disease. Overweight in this study was associated with higher serum cholesterol concentrations and lower HDL-cholesterol levels. The effects of cigarette smoking on the concentrations of HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol appear to be prominent in the heavy smoking subjects (p less than 0.010 and p less than 0.050 respectively). A positive association between cigarette smoking and serum triglycerides was found. This work suggests that HDL-cholesterol is the best indicator to discriminate both cigarette smokers or subjects having overweight at risk of developing atherosclerosis or coronary heart disease.
