title: Dietary determinants of lipoproteins, total cholesterol, viscosity, fibrinogen, and blood pressure.
abstract: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, viscosity, fibrinogen, and blood pressure were determined in 117 men aged 44 to 60 yr selected from the general population who also completed 7-day weighed dietary records. Associations between these measurements and a number of dietary factors were assessed by multiple regression analysis, allowing where necessary for the effects of age, body mass index, and smoking habit. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol was associated positively with both alcohol and fish consumption and negatively with saturated fat intake. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol expressed as a percentage of total cholesterol was associated negatively with the percentage of energy from fat and positively with fish consumption. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was associated positively with the percentage of energy from fat and negatively with fish consumption. Fibrinogen and systolic blood pressure were inversely related to cereal fiber intake.
