The sample included representative groups of University students, office and executive workers, Religious leaders and the general population. Standard exclusion criteria were laid down. Blood sugar, S. createnine, urea, S.bilirubin, SGOT and SGPT were also estimated along with the lipid profile in the fasting state.

The mean high density lipoprotein (HDL cholesterol) was 41.5 mg/dl being higher in the younger age group. The study revealed that 28% of the subjects had Total Cholesterol ~ 210 mg/dl (5.4 mmoVL), 16% had HDL cholesterol < 35 mg/dl (0.9 mmoVL) and 35% were active smokers  ISSN : 1016-7315  Journal Name : The Saudi Heart Journal  Volume : 6  Issue Number : 1  Publishing Year : 1415 AH 1995 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Monday, August 24, 2009  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email حسن الزهراني Al-Zahrani, Hasan Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  20327.pdf pdf scan0004 Back To Researches Page
