title: [Relationship of age, sex, body weight, smoking, blood lipids and fibrinolytic activities in healthy subjects].
abstract: Relationship of plasma activities of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1) with age, sex, body weight, smoking, blood lipids were studied in 131 healthy subjects. The results demonstrated that plasma PAI-1 activity increased with age and body weight. PAI-1/t-PA ratio was higher in smoking than in non-smoking subjects. With multivariate analyses, plasma PAI-1 activity was positively correlated with age, body weight index(BMI) in males, and positively correlated with low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL) in females, and negatively correlated with plasma tPA activity. Plasma triglyceride, high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol did not show a correlation to PAI-1 or tPA activity. It is indicated that age, BMI, blood lipids may contribute to moderate fibrinolytic activities and that smoking may affect fibrinolytic function.
