TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - Cholesterol and Aggression: An Ethnocultural Perspective JO - Journal of clinical psychology in medical settings A1 - Jones, A. A1 - Johnson, Z.C. A1 - Robinson, J.D. A1 - Ybarra, M.A. SP - 249 EP - 258 VL - 5 IS - 3 N2 - Although serum cholesterol has for several decades been linked to atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, cardiovascular primary prevention studies that have resulted in low or lowered cholesterol have not reduced total mortality. This finding may be due in part to an increase in mortality from suicides, homicides, and accidents among people with low or lowered serum cholesterol. This article attempts to review the literature on cholesterol and aggressive behavior, examines possible links connecting the two, and suggests an ethnocultural perspective to these connections.
