title: [The Brisighella study. II. Metabolic risk factors].
abstract: The Epidemiological Study of Brisighella, a rural little town of Emilia-Romagna, started in 1972. At entry 1448 females and 1491 males, aged 14-84 years, were examined. In this paper the mean values of Total Serum Cholesterol (TC), Triglycerides (TC), Serum Uric Acid (SUA) and Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) for age classes and sex, were described. This values were for all males, of 222.6 mg/dl (TC), 153.0 mg/dl (TG), 53.5 mg/dl (SUA) and 85.0 mg/dl (FBS). In the females the mean TC values were higher than in the males (226.2 mg/dl); the mean values of other parameters were lower: 129.1 mg/dl (TG), 83.3 mg/dl (FBS) and 47.0 mg/l (SUA).
