Abstract

The relationship between smoking and dyslipidemia was studied in 2,160 elderly Chinese males. Levels of triglycerides (TGs) in current smokers were shown to be significantly higher and levels of high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL‐C) lower than for those who had never smoked or had stopped smoking. Interestingly, the level of apoprotein B (apoB) was more frequently abnormal in very heavy smokers compared with light smokers, while low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL‐C) levels were more frequently normal in very heavy smokers. When comparing other factors that influence blood lipids, such as alcohol intake, body mass index (BMI), and age, smoking had the greatest influence and was shown to be an independent risk factor for dyslipidemia.
