Results The frequency distribution of uric acid, triglycerides, FFA, phospholipids, and
cholesterol levels and of the percentages of each lipoprotein fraction was found to be of the
log normal type (Fig. 2). The log normal distribution of the data was confirmed by graphic
normality tests. The statistical calculations were thus performed after log transformation of
the serum levels (Tables I and II). It is important to notice that the mean value, expressed in
mg./100 ml., was obtained by transformation of the m log value. The characteristics of the …

The characteristics of the populations were defined by the lowest value, the 2-5th percentile, the mean level,
