Serumcholesterolnøgdin hjá Føroyingum

dom among the inhabitants. Therefore the author has examined the
level of serumcholesterol in a small part of the population. 200 ana-
lysis have been performed. The results are presented tabularly. The
level of serumcholesterol is about 40—50 mg °/o lower than in a corre-
sponding part of the Danish population. But you cannot draw general
reflexions because of the small number of people. But it is of great
importance to investigate the question thoroughly, for which reason
the author has projected a larger investigation. These investigations are
of interest as well to the scientists as to the Faroe Islands, as Faroe
Islands are self-sufficient as to fish, products of fish, meat of pilot
whales and whale-blubber. The question is therefore of interest from
a social point of view. It is high time to do it, before old habits of
eating in Faroe Islands are fading away.
