背景在美国,人们一直在努力降低高胆固醇水平。然而,对男性的研究发现,血浆胆固醇水平较低时,癌症总死亡率较高。许多研究发现,肺癌比其他癌症与低胆固醇更密切相关。在包括女性的研究中,没有一项研究表明低胆固醇和肺癌之间存在统计学显著的负相关。我们研究了极低的血浆胆固醇水平(
Background. There have been significant efforts in the United States to lower high cholesterol levels. Studies of men, however, have found a higher total cancer mortality rate at lower levels of plasma cholesterol. Many of these studies have found that lung cancer is more closely associated than other cancers with low cholesterol. Of the studies that include women, none has demonstrated a statistically significant inverse association between low cholesterol and lung cancer.Methods. We examined the relation between very low plasma cholesterol levels (
