abstract：BACKGROUND:The Jewish population of Israel consumes a diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids with a relatively low proportion of saturated fat, has a small alcohol intake and a lipid profile characterized by low HDL-cholesterol and high lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)). It is therefore of interest to compare occurrence rates o...
