Abstract: Background. A large and consistent body of evidence supports thejudgment that elevation of total plasma blood cholesterol is a cause of myocardial infarction (MI)

“…10,13 Studies of the genetic determination of apoA-I have found evidence of 1 major locus, 66 2 major loci, 67 or polygenes alone 68,69 influencing the variation in different populations. The LOD score of 2.02 at 128 cM in the present study suggests that variation in plasma apoA-I may be influenced by a gene on chromosome 12q.…”

“…Low HDL-C and HDL 2 -C are independent risk factors for CVD in cross-sectional prospective studies. [15][16][17][18][19]42,44,45 HDL-C and HDL 2 -C levels are higher in women compared with men, which is an inverse of the lower age-adjusted rates for coronary disease in women compared with men. [11][12][13][14]41 The observed HDL-C and HDL 2 -C reductions with the Step II diet are not small when viewed from the standpoint of the baseline differences between women and men.…”
