Lipid and lipoprotein profiles among middle aged male smokers: a study from southern India

Table 1 Lipid Profile among Smokers and Control subjects:

Lipid (in mg/dl)	Control, N = 78, Mean ± SD	Mild (Pack years 10-14) N = 69, Mean ± SD	Moderate (Pack years 15-19) N = 90, Mean ± SD	Heavy (Pack Years≥20) N = 115, Mean ± SD
TC	160 ± 20.4	198 ± 30.6#	224 ± 27.2#	240 ± 24.3#
TGL	124 ± 31.6	164 ± 42.6*	199 ± 39.5#	223 ± 41.7#
LDL-C	82 ± 17.6	94 ± 19.7#	104 ± 21.8#	120 ± 20.5#
HDL-C	48 ± 5.3	42 ± 5.9	39 ± 3.1	35 ± 4.4*
Apo-B	116 ± 21.4	119 ± 24.9#	121 ± 27#	127 ± 28.3#
Apo-A1	126 ± 19	120 ± 17	119 ± 21*	115 ± 25#

# P < 0.001; *P < 0.05; TC = total cholesterol, TGL = triglyceride, LDL-C = low density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C = high density lipoprotein cholesterol, Apo-B = Apolipoprotein B, Apo-A1 = Apolipoprotein A1, SD = standard deviation, N = number.
