Epidemiologic studies of coronary heart disease and stroke in Japanese men living in Japan, Hawaii and California: Distribution of biochemical risk factors. Am J Epidemiol 102:491–501. 1975. Distributions of serum cholesterol, glucose, uric acid and triglycerides are examined among Japanese men living in Japan, Hawaii and California. Laboratory methods are described in detail and efforts to assure comparability of these methods. In every age group studied, the mean, median and percentile for each of the biochemical variables are lower formen in Japan than in Hawaii and California.
