Alcohol Consumption and Lipoprotein Subclasses in Older AdultsJournal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism April 17, 2007

Alcohol intake is associated with less total LDL particles, lower levels of small LDL, HDL, and VLDL particles, and higher levels of large LDL and medium and large HDL particles in older adults free of prevalent clinical cardiovascular disease.Reprint Request E-mail: kmukamal@bidmc.harvard.edu.
