Reference ranges for apolipoprotein AI and B plasma concentrations were established in a population of unrelated apparently healthy volunteers (138 men and 186 women) living in the region of Grenoble. Apolipoproteins were measured using an immunoturbidimetric assay on a Cobas Fara II analyzer, with reagents and IFCC standardized calibrators from Orion. Apolipoprotein AI mean concentration was higher in women than in men and increased with age in both men and women older than 45. Apolipoprotein B mean concentration was higher in men and increased linearly with age in both sexes. Linear regression analysis was used to determine desirable and high risk values for apolipoproteins AI and B from the guidelines developed by the National Cholesterol Education Program for HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol, respectively. Our data indicate that an apolipoprotein AI value of 1.05 g/l is comparable to an HDL cholesterol value of 0.35 g/l. The apolipoprotein B cutpoints of 1.15 g/l for men and 1.05 g/l for women correspond to the accepted LDL cholesterol cutpoint of 1.60 g/l.
