Relationship Between Serum Cholesterol and Body Fatness

Serum total cholesterol was determined in more than 6,500 male and female subjects ranging in age from four to past eighty, comprising most of the inhabitants of the community of Tecumseh, Michigan. Several indices of body fatness were utilized, including measurements of triceps and subscapular skin-fold thickness, and relative weight (the ratio of observed over predicted weight, predicted weight being calculated from a regression of body weight on height, biacromial and bicristal diameters). A low but statistically significant relationship was found between serum cholesterol levels and body fatness, even at an early age and particularly among male subjects.
