Relationship between serum lipids and dietary and non-dietary factors in a Chinese population

Article Abstract:

No relationship exists between dietary factors and serum lipids, contrary to the results of earlier studies which found weak linkages between the two. The absence of any association between serum lipids and dietary variables was revealed in a survey of 631 male and female Chinese, whose diets were assessed through food weighing and individual food records over a period of three days. Results showed low serum TC, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and high high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in the Chinese population.
