Abstract

To the Editor: In their recent study (Jan. 25 issue),¹ Ostlund and coworkers examined a cohort of 146 healthy subjects 60 to 70 years old to determine the main clinical and laboratory characteristics related to HDL₂ subfraction levels in plasma. They concluded that plasma HDL₂ levels were inversely correlated with truncal body fat and not associated with total body fat. The authors calculated the percentage of body fat for women by using measurements of skin-fold thickness and equations derived from studies of healthy young subjects,² and for men by using studies of subjects engaged in sports,³ Equations…
