ABSTRACT
Serum lipids of 70 healthy volunteer tribals (36 males, 34 females) living at high altitudes (3100-4500 metres) in the Himalayas were studied. The mean total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDLc, LDLc and VLDLc levels for the group were 178.6 +/- 19.5, 101.4 +/- 18.3, 44.1 +/- 12.4, 114.5 +/- 17.3 and 20.2 +/- 3.6 mg/dl respectively. There was no significant difference between the two sexes and the various age groups. The total cholesterol/HDL ratio for men and women was 4.2 and 3.9 respectively. The various interacting factors responsible for overall pattern of lipids in these individuals is discussed.
