[A study through factor analysis of the connection between 7 variables concerning blood lipides, with a particular reference to the interpretation of the lipidograms (author's transl)].

The AA. examined 7 variables concerning blood lipides and studied their internal relationship by means of a method, the Factor Analysis, which aims at determining the least amount of Common Factors which can sum up the information contained in the same variables. In this case three Common Factors (F) could be obtained, two of which were connected to the interpretation of the data of the lipidogram. The AA. discuss the signification of the determined Factors; they have even calculated the scores of the same Factors for each single individual and derived from the frequence distributions of the scores of F1 and F2 the normal values of the same Factors.
