We studied prospectively the relationship between serum lipids and Dupuytren's disease of the hand in 85 patients, 65 men and 20 women. The Dupuytren patients had significantly higher fasting serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels than did the controls (p < 0.001). The raised levels of serum lipids appeared to be associated with the pathogenesis of Dupuytren's disease, and this may help to explain the high incidence of Dupuytren's disease in alcoholic, diabetic and epileptic patients, since these conditions are also associated with raised serum lipid levels.
