Serum lipids of Greenland Inuit in relation to Inuit genetic heritage, westernisation and migration.

Atherosclerosis - 1 Jun 2004

Bjerregaard P, Jørgensen M E, Borch-Johnsen K

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The reputed low prevalence of cardiovascular disease among the Inuit has recently been challenged. Studies have shown total cholesterol among the Inuit to differ little from that of western populations and the association between cholesterol and atherosclerosis to be inconsistent. METHODS: We studied serum lipids in a population survey among 2114 Inuit living in Denmark or in West Greenland. Blood...
