| Popis: | Among 6860 50-77 year old men of Japanese ancestry examined in Honolulu 291 were known to have had a gastrectomy for benign gastric (189) or duodenal (102) ulcer, and 132 had documented peptic ulcer disease treated medically. Total serum cholesterol averaged 12 mg% lower in the surgical group than in the general population (p less than 0.01) while the medically treated men had intermediate values. Fasting lipoprotein determinations done in a sub-sample showed that the lower total cholesterol in the surgical group was due to depressed LDL, while HDL was higher in the operated men than in either the general population or the medically treated patients (p less than 0.01). The surgical patients were heavier users of cigarettes, beer and coffee and averaged about 10 lb. lighter than either the medically treated patients or the rest of the population. However, in multivariate analysis these differences did not not account for the differences in lipoproteins. A small decrement in blood pressure in the surgical patients as compared to the rest of the population became non-significant when weight and others factors were taken into account. |
