Blood viscosity, hematocrit and serum total cholesterol were studied among three population groups with different ethnic and socioeconomic characteristics and different incidence of atherosclerosis and its complications.

Differences in blood viscosity were closely paralleled by differences in hematocrit values, and adjustment of blood viscosity for hematocrit values rendered the initially observed differences in viscosity nonsignificant. Furthermore, blood viscosity is apparently independent of the serum total cholesterol and fat intake.
