The purpose of this study was to examine the distribution of hyperlipidemia and the correlation between plasma lipid levels and other parameters such as nutrient intake, body mass index and blood pressure in over 65 Korean elderly people(78 men, 116 female). Measurement of weight, height, blood pressure, triceps skinfolds thickness and plasma lipid levels were made and daily nutrient intakes were calculated. The mean plasma triglyceride and cholesterol levels were 144.3 ㎎/dl and 170.0 ㎎/dl in male, 167.1 ㎎/dl and 191.1 ㎎/dl in female respectively and decreased with age. The percentage of hyperlcholerolemia and hypertriglycemia of elderly people was decreased with age. Energy and nutrient intakes were decreased with age, especially in female. The percentage of obesity by BMI was 6.6% in male and 9.7% in female and the percentage of under-weight was 7.9% and 19.5% respectively. The systolic and diastolic blood pressures were decreased with age, and the risk of hypertension showed a decrease. BMI and dietary lipid consumption showed positive correlation with plasma cholesterol in both sex.
