Study title and authors:
Serum lipid levels and the severity of coronary and cerebral atherosclerosis in adequately nourished men, 60 to 69 years of age. Paterson JC, Armstrong R, Armstrong EC.
This study can be accessed at: http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/reprint/27/2/229.pdf
The study investigated the relationship between blocked arteries and cholesterol levels in 42 autopsy patients aged 60-69.
Dr. Paterson and his colleagues did not find any connection between the degree of atherosclerosis and the blood cholesterol level; those who had low cholesterol were just as arteriosclerotic when they died as those who had high cholesterol.
