The relationship of diet to serum cholesterol levels in young men in Antarctica
1. Regular estimations of dietary intake, body-weight, skinfold thickness, blood pressure and pulse rate, and serum lipids were made in twenty-four members of an Antarctic expedition over 1 year. 2. The mean levels of serum total cholesterol, phospholipids, and triglycerides were 198.5 ±4.85 mg/100...

A positive correlation was found between the total intake of fat expressed as calories and the following serum lipid levels: total cholesterol, β-cholesterol, and the cholesterol:phospholipid ratio. Significant positive correlation was also found between the latter serum levels and fat when expressed as a percentage of the total food intake. 4. This correlation has not been found in small groups before, and is due to the fact that each estimation was the result of several assessments made over 1 year. 5.
