Three diverse samples of men and women aged 35–64 years living in urban Poland, rural Poland, and the United States, are described and suhequently analyzed by multiple regression methods. Total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high denbsity lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and the natural logartthm (In) of triglycerides are treated separately as dependent variables, with several demographic, behavioral, and biologlc factors as independem variables. In the analyses of total cholesterol, systlic blood pressure was statistically slgntficant in men and women in all three samples, while Quetelet index, cigarette smoking, age, ethanol consumption, and education were significant in at least one of the samples. In the LDL cholesterol analyses, Quetelet index and cigarette smoking were the predominant variables; in the HDL cholesterol analyses, Quetelet index, cigarette smoking, ethanol consumtion, and age were key variables; and in the in trigiycerides analyses, Quetetet index, cigarette smoking, education, and systolic blood pressure were significant.
