[Relation of alcohol consumption and blood lipids and apolipoproteins--a study of a population of 3,897 wage-earners from the Lyon region].
Between June 1982, and September 1984, a survey was conducted among 3,897 employees in the Region of Lyon to study the relationship between alcohol consumption and serum concentrations of total cholesterol and triglycerides. In 400 randomly selected men, the following data were also obtained: concentrations of the cholesterol of the high density lipoproteins (HDL) and of their subfractions, and concentrations of the apoproteins A-I, A-II and B. All these biochemical concentrations increased, more or less, with alcohol consumption. Relative to non drinkers, the concentrations increased among males who declared drinking more than 80 grams of alcohol per day: for total cholesterol, by 10.0%; for triglycerides, by 24.7%; for HDL-cholesterol, by 26.7%; for HDL2-cholesterol, by 76.0%; for HDL3-cholesterol, by 15.0%; for apoprotein A-I, by 30.0%; for apoprotein A-II, by 52.2%; for apoprotein B, by 5.1%. These results, with the limitations inherent in a cross-sectional study, suggest that regular consumption of alcohol raises the concentrations of blood lipid components, both atherogenic and non-atherogenic.
