Abstract
Serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels were determined in 814 subjects and the relation to age, sex and body weight evaluated. In 568 persons the body mass index (BMI) and the relative body weight according to Broca were calculated. Normal values for each age group were established. Serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides and the body mass index showed an age dependent rise in the male and the female population. The body mass index showed a positive correlation with the serum triglycerides, but did not correlate with the serum cholesterol levels. The correlation between body mass index and serum triglycerides was not age dependent. Thus, our data stress the relation between overweight and hypertriglyceridaemia.
