The pattern of fasting serum lipids, with emphasis on high density lipoprotein cholesterol, and the relationship of the lipids with each other and with other risk factors is examined in a population based sample of New Zealand Maoris. There are no sex differences in the distribution of total cholesterol and cholesterol fractions but triglycerides are higher in men. High density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are lower in Maoris than reported in other populations. High density lipoprotein cholesterol is negatively correlated with low density lipoprotein cholesterol but not associated with total cholesterol. High density lipoprotein cholesterol is negatively correlated with body mass index and in men high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are higher in current alcohol drinkers. The possible relationship between the low levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and the high risk of coronary heart disease in Maoris requires investigation.
在一项以新西兰毛利人群体为样本的研究中，对空腹血脂模式（重点关注高密度脂蛋白胆固醇）以及血脂之间及其与其他风险因素的关系进行了研究。总胆固醇和胆固醇组分的分布不存在性别差异，但男性的甘油三酯水平较高。毛利人的高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平低于其他人群的报告值。高密度脂蛋白胆固醇与低密度脂蛋白胆固醇呈负相关，但与总胆固醇无关。高密度脂蛋白胆固醇与体重指数呈负相关，且在男性中，当前饮酒者的高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平较高。毛利人高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平较低与冠心病高风险之间的潜在关系需要进行研究。
