Abstract
Summary: The distribution of body weight, body weight index, serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, serum urate and systolic blood pressure are given for 600 male and 400 female Sydney blood donors, aged 20 to 49. The mean values rise with age but to different degrees and at different rates for each sex. The prevalence of high values of two or more variables also rises with age. Comparisons with findings in other Australian surveys show the high levels of risk factors for coronary disease in all the Australian populations so far studied and reported.Keywords
