Figures & data
Figure 1. Association between degree of atherosclerosis and total cholesterol concentration in the blood in 40 men and women between 50–69 years, who had died violently without preceding disease. The figure is constructed using data from Landé and Sperry (see ref. 7).
Figure 2. Association between degree of atherosclerosis and total cholesterol at autopsy. It is obvious that the weak association disappears after exclusion of individuals with cholesterol above 350 mg/dl. (9 mmol/l). Redrawn from Solberg et al. (see ref. 7).
