Cross-sectional data were modeled by logistic regression for predictors of HDL-C among African Americans, ages 35 74, participating in the baseline examination of a community-based study of cardiovascular disease in Jackson, Mississippi, during 2000 2004. After excluding persons taking lipid-lowering medications, hormone replacement therapy, oral contraceptives, or thyroid replacement, the analytical data set comprised 2420 persons (1370 women, 1050 men).
HDL-C had a significant positive association with age after controlling for serum triglycerides, sex, waist circumference, percent dietary calories from carbohydrates, alcohol use, and leisure physical activity. Sex was a significant effect modifier of this relationship, whereby the increase in HDL-C with age was steeper for women than for men.
