Abstract:
A mass health examination for Cerebro-cardiovascular disease was conducted on inhabitants of a farming village in the northeastern part of Saitama Prefecture. Used in the present study are data concerning the following: age, obesity, skinfold thickness, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, hemoglobin, fasting blood sugar, total protein, GOT, and GPT.
These variables were analyzed for use in comprehensively assessing the results of the examina tion for cerebro-cardiovascular disease in the rural community.
Worthy of note is the fact that the principal component analysis of data showed a different pattern between man and woman.
The relations of HDL-cholesterol values to some of the other measurements were also studied by multiple regression analysis, in which HDL-cholesterol levels were given as dependent variable, and age, obesity, skinfold thickness, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, lesterol, and triglyceride values as independent variables. As a result, it was found that HDL-cholesterol levels have significantly negative corelations to the skinfold thickness in men and triglyceride values in women. Besides, total cholesterol levels showed significantly positive correlations both in men and women.
