Abstract
NAKAMURA, S. Total Cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Choline Esterase in Overseas and Japanese University Students. Tohoku J. exp. Med., 1985, 145 (4), 369-371-Serum lipids were studied in 97 oversew and 282 Japanese university students. As compared with Japanese, serum total cholesterol levels were low and high density lipoprotein/total cholesterol ratio was high in the oversea students, especially in Chinese and Korean students. 30-39-year-old Chinese students, moreover, showed elevated high density lipoprotein levels. Choline esterase levels were significantly lower in 30-39-year-old Chinese and Korean students than in Japanese and Taiwanese.
