OBJECTIVE
To examine the relationship between educational level, a powerful indicator of socioeconomic status in Greece, total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol in a large sample of Greek adults.
METHODS
The study sample consisted of 11,645 subjects, 4,398 men and 7,247 women, aged 23-86 years, who voluntarily participated in the Greek component of the EPIC study during 1994-98. Educational attainment was divided into low, medium, and high. Linear regression analyses were performed, in men and women separately, using total and HDL-cholesterol as dependent variables and educational level as independent, while controlling for age.
RESULTS
Total blood cholesterol values are inversely associated with educational level in both genders, a pattern contrasting with that found 20 years ago. The association is more prominent among women. HDL-cholesterol values are inversely associated with educational level in men, whereas the association is less consistent in women.
目的
在大量希腊成年人样本中，研究教育水平（希腊社会经济地位的有力指标）与总胆固醇及高密度脂蛋白胆固醇之间的关系。
方法
研究样本包括11645名受试者，其中男性4398名，女性7247名，年龄在23 - 86岁之间，他们于1994 - 1998年自愿参与了欧洲癌症与营养前瞻性调查（EPIC）研究的希腊部分。教育程度分为低、中、高三个层次。分别对男性和女性进行线性回归分析，以总胆固醇和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇作为因变量，教育水平作为自变量，并对年龄进行控制。
结果
男女两性的总血胆固醇值均与教育水平呈负相关，这一模式与20年前的情况形成对比。这种关联在女性中更为显著。男性的高密度脂蛋白胆固醇值与教育水平呈负相关，而在女性中这种关联不太一致。
