| Popis: | A case-control study was conducted in 1983 on 210 cerebrovascular disease (CVD) patients identified from a retrospective cross-sectional door-to-door survey of four cities in the People's Republic of China. One hundred and eleven male (mean age 63.8 +/- 8.9 years) and 99 female (mean age 63.5 +/- 11.1 years) CVD survivors and controls matched for sex, age, race and area were selected. Total serum cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured to see if there were differences between lipids in survivors of CVD and their matched controls. There was a higher level of total cholesterol in cerebral thrombotic patients (n = 114) and a lower level of total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in cerebral hemorrhagic patients (n = 35) than in controls, although the results were not statistically significant. The only higher level of total serum cholesterol that might be important was in the group of male thrombotic patients of age greater than 70 years (n = 22; nominal p value less than 0.05). The implication of this finding needs further clarification. |
