We find, then, an increase in cholesterol serum level with age up to about 50 in the males and 60 in the females and decrease with further increase in age to values close to that of young individuals; there is a somewhat similar change in the total fatty acids and a less marked change in the poly-unsaturated fatty acids. The ratio of either the cholesterol or poly-unsaturated acids does not show this change but is relatively constant for the cholesterol and shows a steady decrease with age for the unsaturated fatty acids. The data indicate that ratios are more dependent upon the absolute lipid values than on age per se.
