Abstract excerpt

The impact of apolipoprotein (apo) E genotype variation on means, variances and correlations between plasma lipid traits was studied in male and female octogenarians. Females had significantly higher mean levels of all 10 of the measured plasma lipid traits than males. The subset of concomitants...
