[HDL/LDL-cholesterol, arteriosclerosis and age (author's transl)].
The level of HDL-Cholesterol of the serum of women decreases in dependence on age. Especially in the group of the 75-95 years old persons. The LDL-cholesterol shows an increase with a maximum in the age group 60-75 years. Thus the HDL/LDL-cholesterol quotient is reduced and the risk for atherosclerotic diseases is elevated. Serum HDL-cholesterol correlates positively with the post-heparin lipolytic activity of extrahepatic origin, but not with the hepatic lipase.
