Cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein‐Cholesterol (HDL) and Cholesterol/HDL‐ratio Versus Arterial Blood Pressure.

Abstract
In a cardiovascular survey of 928 men and women aged exactly 30, 40, 50 & 60 years, a correlation between serum cholesterol, cholesterol/HDL-ratio and arterial blood pressure was found. This correlation was indirectly caused by mutual correlations to relative weight and age as a final result found after multiple rank correlation analysis in each sex. HDL was not correlated to arterial blood pressure at all.
