Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to examine the levels of serum triglyceride (TG)/cholesterol (Chol) of healthy Korean adults and the correlations between these serum lipid levels and other health parameters such as blood pressure, obesity index,
smoking,
and food & daily habit. Since Koreans consume a relatively large amount of carbohydrate, an emphasis was given to serum triglyceride levels. Measurements of body mass index (BMI). Blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, serum triglyceride and
cholesterol
were made and a questionnaire on food & daily habit was given to each of 878healthy adult subjects; 480 males and 398 females. The mean serum TG and Chol levels were 113.1±82.5mg/dl and 191.6±41.0mg/dl respectively. Serum TG and Chol levels
showed a
gradual increase with age in both sexes upto 50 years of age. The percent increases in serum TG & Chol levels of females after the age 50 were much greater than those of males. Distribution patterns of serum TG and Chol levels were different from
each
other in that the serum TG levels showed a skew curve, while the serum Chol levels showed a normal distribution curve. Serum TG levels increased with systolic blood pressure upto 159 mmHg and showed a statistically significant and consistent
elevation
with increment of diastolic blood pressure. BMI was more positively correlated with serum TG levels than with serum Chol levels. There was a significant correlation between serum lipids especially TG levels and food & daily habit scores. There
exist
significant differences in levels of serum TG and Chol between smoking and nonsmoking male groups. In conclusion, the serum levels of TG were more significantly influenced by factors such as body weight, pressure, smoking and food & daily habit
than
those of Chol. Most of these influences were greater in males than in females.
