Abstract

The association between serum cholesterol level and primary brain tumours in adults was studied in a case-control study. Some 150 cases were compared with 649 hospital-based controls. An association between elevated serum cholesterol level and primary brain tumours was found. This relationship was concentrated in meningioma cases and may represent a marker for an elevated socioeconomic status.
