In the course of an atherosclerosis intervention study, a basic medical check-up of 2105 out of 4800 employees of a Viennese banking house was carried out (37.1 +/- 11.0 years, 54.6% females). Apart from liver and kidney function parameters, an extensive lipid status was determined, the blood pressure was measured, and a cardiovascular-centered case history ascertained. The mean cholesterol level in females was 208.3 +/- 54 mg/dl and that in males was 226.8 +/- 61.1 mg/dl. The HDL-cholesterol level in males was 43.8 +/- 11.9 mg/dl; that in females (54.9 +/- 13.4 mg/dl) was significantly higher. The mean value of LDL-cholesterol in the entire group was 141.6 +/- 51.4 mg/dl and it was significantly higher in males, as well as in participants with known hypertension. 33.4% of the persons stated that they smoked. The obtained data will serve not only to discover potential interrelations between the individual risk factors of atherosclerosis in Austria, but also in particular as a basis for interventional strategies on the part of the company's medical services.
