A long account of the many factors responsible form atherosclerosis (dysmetabolism, physical, genetic and familial factors, immunobiological features, diet) is followed by an assessment of obesity as a main risk factor in the local pathology of atherosclerosis. Results obtained in the treatment of obesity with chorionic gonadotropin and a 500 calorie standard diet are presented. These were highly satisfactory with respect to weight loss, tolerance, and marked improvement (or even normalisation) of blood lipid values, which were initially pathological in many cases.
在详细阐述了导致动脉粥样硬化的诸多因素（代谢紊乱、身体因素、遗传和家族因素、免疫生物学特征、饮食）之后，对肥胖作为动脉粥样硬化局部病理中的主要危险因素进行了评估。文中介绍了使用绒毛膜促性腺激素和500卡路里标准饮食治疗肥胖症所取得的结果。这些结果在体重减轻、耐受性以及血脂值的显著改善（在许多情况下甚至恢复正常，最初血脂值在很多病例中都处于病理状态）方面都非常令人满意。
