“…At the 1-year follow-up, the only significant long-term change was a significant decrease in HDL cholesterol, observed in both FH and NIDDM subjects in both treatment conditions. Previous studies have shown that women often experience decreases in HDL cholesterol initially with weight loss (34,35) but show increases in HDL cholesterol in the longterm. For example, Wing et al (1) reported significant increases in HDL cholesterol at the 1-year follow-up in NIDDM subjects who maintained weight losses of 6.9 kg or more.…”

“…In addition, triglycérides show greater decreases in men than in women with weight loss. Other studies [23][24][25][26] also indicate that serum lipid responses to weight loss differ for women compared to men. While weight reduction appears to have differential effects on serum lipids, especially HDL-C, lipid responses for women and men to alterations using weight-maintaining diets are not well defined.…”

While hypercholesterolemia is an important risk factor for coronary heart disease in women, the responses of women and men to low-fat, low-cholesterol diets have not been carefully compared. This report summarizes three studies comparing responses of women and men. First, we evaluated the responses of women and men to public cholesterol screening and enrollment in a nutrition research study. Of the 3401 individuals who presented for initial screening, 56% were women and 44% were men. Of the eligible subjects, women (56%) were less likely than men (66%) to come to a second screening. After the second screening, however, study-eligible women (75%) were slightly more likely than men (67%) to enroll in the study. Next, serum and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) values were compared for 64 women and 99 men in response to an American Heart Association (AHA) diet. Reductions in serum cholesterol (8.8 and 7.3%) and LDL-C (9.4 and 8.8%) were similar in women and men, respectively. Finally, serum lipid responses of 59 women and 87 men to a 12-month clinical trial with an AHA diet and a high-fiber AHA-type diet were compared. Both diets decreased serum cholesterol (10 and 13%) and LDL-C (14 and 18%), respectively, for the combined group of women and men. There were no significant differences between serum lipid responses for women and men. These observations suggest differences between the responses of women and men to screening and enrollment in a research study. However, responses of women and men to cholesterol-reducing diets appear similar.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

“…Prior studies document that weight loss decreases risk factors for CVD [6][7][8]19,[24][25][26][27][28], but only a few studies correlate changes in body weight with changes in risk factors [8,29,30]. Using a behavioral weight-loss program, Brownell and Stunkard [29] found that weight change and percentage weight change were weakly correlated with changes in serum cholesterol and TG levels in females but not in males.…”

“…Using a behavioral weight-loss program, Brownell and Stunkard [29] found that weight change and percentage weight change were weakly correlated with changes in serum cholesterol and TG levels in females but not in males. Follick et al [30] reported that long-term but not short-term changes in lipoprotein levels were signifi cantly correlated with changes in BMI independent of initial levels in moderately obese females who completed a behavioral weight-loss program.…”

“…In contrast to findings of Steven son et al [6], we noted different serum HDL-C responses in men and women, with values increasing in men but decreasing in women. While some investigators also note unchanged or decreased serum HDL-C values with weight loss in women [29,31], others report similar increases with weight loss in men and women [6,10,32].…”
