[Clinical significance of arteriosclerosis indices of lipid metabolism and age dependence]. / Klinische Bedeutung von Arteriosklerose-Indizes des Lipidstoffwechsels und Altersabhängigkeit.

ABSTRACT

Age, arteriosclerosis indices, HDL-cholesterol, hyperlipoproteinemia, lipoproteins In 193 normal persons, 86 patients with arteriosclerosis obliterans of the lower extremities, 170 HLP patients, 87 adiposity patients and 22 chronic alcoholics were determined the arteriosclerosis indices (formula; see text) The arteriosclerosis indices increase in healthy males from the age of 30 and healthy females from the age of 45. In case of peripheral arterial occlusion HLP and adiposity the arteriosclerosis indices are elevated and give diagnostic and prognostic hints as to increased arteriosclerotic risk for these diseases.
