Abstract

|
|
A nutritional study was undertaken to determine the serum lipid and lipoprotein levels of 202 college students(99 men, 103 women) aged 18 to 26 years. Fasting blood samples were analyzed for serum total cholesterol(TC), HDL-cholesterol(HDL-C) and
triglyceride(TG). Mean values of TC, LDL-c, HDL-C, HDL-C and TG were 172.2 103.4, 52.3 and 82.3 mg/dl in men and 182.4, 11.6, 56.3 and 72.5 mg/dl in women, respectively. Serum lipid and lipoprotein levels were significantly lower in men than in
women(P<0.05). There was no significant differences in TG level between men and women but the value was slightly higher in men than in women. Mean values of LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and atherogenic index(AI) were 2.1 and 2.4, respectively, in men and
women.
Between anthropometric measurements and serum lipid and lipoprotein levels, correlation did not have statistical significance in men and women but heights were negatively correlated with LDL-C (P<0.05) and BMI was positively correlated with TG in
Men(P<0.05). Cut-off point of TC in men and women in our study for selecting the subject at moderate and high risk for coronary heart disease according to U.S. NIH was 200 mg/dl at 75th percentile, 220mg/dl at 90th percentile. By the
NCEP(national
cholesterol education program) classification, risk group of men and women was 20 land 28% in TC, 12 and 21% in LDL-c, 8 and 4% in HDL-C, respectively.
It is recomended that serum lipid and lipoprotein levels continue to track from young adulthood into above the age for the preventive and interventional programs aimed at developing healthy life-styles.
