Triglyceride, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, lipoprotein (a) and fatty acids in serum of Chinese residents (41 men, 48 women) in Yokohama were analyzed. The determined serum levels of triglyceride, total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol of the subjects were compared with those of Chinese residents in Beijing, Singapore and Taipei as reported. There were observed significant differences among the places of residence. The total cholesterol level of Chinese in Yokohama was higher than in males and females in Beijing and females in Taipei, but lower than males and females in Singapore. The level of distribution of lipoprotein (a) of Chinese in Yokohama was similar to those of Chinese in Beijing, Singapore and Taipei, suggesting similar genetical populations. In the serum fatty acid composition of Chinese in Yokohama, linoleic acid was the most prominent component, accounting for 34.7±4.3%(mean±SD, males and females) of the total fatty acids. The ratio of saturated fatty acids/monounsaturated fatty acids/polyunsaturated fatty acids was 1/0.73/1.6 and the ratio of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid/n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids was 6.7±2.3. The n-6/n-3 ratioof serum fatty acids of Chinese was considerably higher than that of Japanese.
