[Lipid constants in the young adult Senegalese]

The matter of the study is an investigation carried out in a healthy population, representative of every ethnies living in Senegal, population who was given a traditional, but improved senegalese feeding. This study completes and corroborates some previous proceedings carried out in Dakar about blood lipids in African people. We have noticed that since some fifteen years, neither the modifications in feeding, nor the economic and social progress, have yet a repercussion on lipemia and cholesterolemia in Senegal. Every analysed parameter is lower than those noticed in European population and the proposed lipidic constants will be used as basic date for further investigations.
