[Assays of apolipoproteins A and B as atherogenicity factors in aged patients at hospitals].
A systematic study of 100 elderly patients in a hospital geriatric unit was undertaken to analyse the relationship between clinical cardiovascular events (angina, myocardial infarction, hypertension, cerebrovascular accidents, temporo-spatial disorientation, invalidity, incontinence) and plasma lipids (total cholesterol, HDL and LDL fractions, triglycerides, apolipoprotein A and B and total cholesterol/HDL and apolipoprotein B/A ratios). The average triglyceride and apolipoprotein A concentrations were related to the patient's validity: The triglycerides were significantly higher in the group of invalid patients (+22%), p = 0.05. The apolipoprotein A levels were significantly lower in the invalid group (-12%), p = 0.05.
