[An increased risk of death from ischemic heart disease in men with low blood concentrations of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol].
A number of epidemiological surveys have recently established that in populations with the lowest levels of total cholesterol (TC) and LDL cholesterol (LDLC) death rates grow due to both malignant and cardiovascular diseases. The results of a detailed study on multifactor prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) in an open population of Moscow males aged 40-59 to elucidate the relations between TC, HDL cholesterol, LDLC and CHD mortality demonstrated that low levels of TC are markers, but not a factor of CHD and sudden death risk in low-educated subjects free of CHD symptoms. When planning mass measures to primarily prevent CHD, subjects with low cholesterol levels should be given a special care as well as those with hypercholesterolemia.
