Several studies have linked total serum @entity165 concentrations below 200 mg/dl with increased @entity5 risk, especially among @entity1 . @entity5 risk appears to be associated primarily with low concentrations of total @entity165 and of low-density lipoprotein @entity165 but not of high-density lipoprotein @entity165 (HDL). It has been suggested that low concentrations of total @entity165 are associated with increased @entity5 risk indirectly by virtue of their association with low concentrations of @entity20072 and/or @entity904 . The relationship between serum @entity20072 and @entity165 in a biracial group of 146 first-year college students was investigated. White @entity1 and @entity1 had similar @entity20072 concentrations. Blacks had higher serum @entity20072 concentrations than whites. There was a significant relationship between @entity20072 concentrations and total @entity165 , which was most evident in @entity1 , both black (r = +0.72; P less than 0.01) and white (r = +0.49; P less than 0.01). The correlations for the @entity1 were significant, but of lower magnitude than for the @entity1 . Significant @entity20072 -HDL relationships were observed among black @entity1 (r = 0.31; P less than 0.05) and among @entity1 (r = 0.35; P less than 0.05 and r = 0.31; P less than 0.05, black and white, respectively). Furthermore, the @entity1 also demonstrated a significant @entity20072 - @entity9477 association. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that the association between low serum @entity165 concentrations and @entity5 may be the result of a relationship between lipoprotein @entity165 concentrations and @entity904 metabolism.
