Age-related trends in mean levels of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, nonhigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and total: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and median levels of triglycerides in the study population. Mean levels in cholesterol lipoproteins are significantly greater among women after age of 50 years. Mean total, low-density lipoprotein and non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are the highest in men at age 30–39 years and in women at 40–59 years
