[Cholesterol screening in a bank for the detection of a risk population].
In October 1987 voluntary screening for cholesterol war performed in a bank. After preceding information had been issued to the participants 25 ml blood were drawn on 4 days from 667 employees (48.9% males, 51.1% females) for determination of the blood lipids and other parameters. The mean age (range 19 to 60) was 39 +/- 9 years; 29.2% were smokers. The mean cholesterol level amounted to 212 mg/dl. According to age- and sex-related normal values 42% exhibited an increased risk, whereby the percentage was particularly high (55%) in the age group under 30 years.
