During examination of a sample of 1559 persons in one of the districts in the city of Kiev, statistically significant relationship between the level of plasma HDL cholesterol and the type of nutrition was obtained. Persons with hypoalphacholesterolemia consumed more fats, including animal fats, cholesterol, sugar and less polyunsaturated fatty acids, starch retinol, ascorbic acid, and manganese. The use of recommendations for rational nutrition on the basis of the results of the study in the group of persons with hypoalphacholesterolemia allowed a 30.7% increase in HDL cholesterol, and a 1.7-fold decrease in the atherogenic index as compared to basic data.
