| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
LDL and HDL subclasses can be classified according to particle size. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an accurate method used to measure adipose tissue. The present study examined the associations between body fat measured by DXA and cholesterol concentrations of serum lipoprotein subclasses. Cholesterol concentration of the serum large HDL subclass showed significant inverse relationships with body fat variables including volume and distribution, whereas the small HDL subclass showed significant positive relationships with body fat variables including volume and distribution. In conclusion, HDL subclasses are associated with adiposity in various manners.
