Overview
Epidemiological studies concluded the lower levels of HDL in men rather than women. While exercise,low dietary fats, and moderate alcohol consumption associated with higher levels of HDL in the studied population.
Epidemiology and Demographics
In 1980, a large cross section study included 4756 white males and females ages 20-59 years, the aim of the study was to assess different factors relation to the HDL level in the studied population, which further divided according to age, sex, and gonadal hormone use. Higher levels of HDL have been recorded in women rather that men, also with moderate alcohol consumption, and exercise.[1]
