Abstract
In a study of 175,079 subjects, peripheral leukocyte counts are associated with serum lipid levels.
- Age and sex significantly influence the relationship between leukocyte counts and serum lipid levels.
- Triglyceride levels are positively linked to leukocyte counts in males, with some exceptions in younger subjects.
- In females, triglyceride levels show a positive association with total leukocyte counts across all ages.
- Total cholesterol levels are positively associated with leukocyte, neutrophil, and lymphocyte counts in young males, and with lymphocyte counts in elderly women.
- LDL cholesterol is negatively associated with monocyte counts in males of all ages but positively associated with leukocyte and lymphocyte counts in females.
- HDL cholesterol displays negative associations with various leukocyte counts in both young and elderly men and women.
