[lipid metabolism and ageing (author's transl)].
Aging in man and in animals is associated with a variety of changes in lipid metabolism. Age-dependent changes of the lipid metabolisms of liver, adipose tissue and other organs lead to the age dependence of the blood lipid level. Aging organisms synthesize and metabolize less lipids, the result being an age-related increase of lipid in tissues and blood. Both intrinsic aging processes and risk factors (such as hyperlipoproteinemias) operative over many years apparently act to produce the multifactoral age-related disease atherosclerosis.
