Abstract
To study the relationship between activity of daily living (ADL) and serum lipo-proteins in patients with cerebral thrombosis (CT), serum lipids and lipoproteins were measured in 29 cases of healthy person, 41 cases of CT (21 cases of well ADL, 20 cases of poor ADL who are the bed ridden patients in need of constant nursing care) and 10 cases of cerebral hemorrhage (poor ADL).
The results were as follows.
(1) HDL cholesterol (CH) in the poor ADL group with CT was lower than that in healthy persons and well ADL group.
(2) Atherogenic Index (AI) in the poor ADL group with CT was higher than that in healthy persons and well ADL group.
The possibilities for the cause of decreased serum HDL-CH and increased AT in the poor ADL patients with CT might be considered to be as follows
