- W1972277549 abstract "Abstract. Objectives. To date, no measurement of serum lipid levels in healthy adult Ghanaians have been carried out. This study was undertaken with the objective of providing reference values for serum lipids levels in the Ghanaian population. Design/setting. Fasting serum lipid levels were measured in 79 adult Ghanaians living in an urban setting. Volunteers were randomly selected from the work force of the University of Ghana in Accra. There were 54 males and 25 females in the study population. Results. The mean serum cholesterol (SC) for Ghanaian males was 4.27 ± 1.00 mmol L−1. A value of 4.34 ± 1.12 mmol L−1 was obtained for the females in this study. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in Ghanaian males averaged 1.37 ± 0.44 mmol L−1 and 1.47 ± 0.50 mmol L−1 in females. There was no statistically significant difference in low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and very-low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) levels between the females and males in this study. Conclusions. Compared to other studies, our results show that populations in Europe and North America have higher levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol than Ghanaians. The levels of HDL cholesterol as well as VLDL cholesterol are higher in Ghanaians than in Europeans and Americans. Further work needs to be done to compare lipid levels in urban and rural Ghanaians as well as in those with cardiovascular disorders." @default.
