Among New Zealand adolescents, Maoris have lower serum high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol levels and higher serum triglyceride levels than non-Maoris. Boys have lower high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels than girls. Low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol levels do not show sex/race differences. These findings are reflected in an excess of hyperlipidaemia type IV in Maori girls. There may be a relation between these lipid distributions and the excess Maori mortality, especially among females, from ischaemic heart-disease.
在新西兰青少年中,毛利人的血清高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平低于非毛利人,血清甘油三酯水平高于非毛利人。男孩的高密度脂蛋白胆固醇和甘油三酯水平低于女孩。低密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平不存在性别/种族差异。这些发现反映在毛利族女孩中IV型高脂血症过多。这些脂质分布可能与毛利人尤其是女性因缺血性心脏病导致的过高死亡率之间存在关联。
