Abstract

|
This study was conducted to identify the factors for serum cholesterol level among Korean airman applicants. We obtained risk factors for 614 airman applicants examined during the period from January 1988 through August 1992 The associations
between
total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and age, BMI< smoking, drinking, fasting blood sugar, blood pressure, flight time and fat intake were analyzed The mean serum total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol levels were
197.6±39.1mg/dl, 52.2±12.6mg/dl, 119.0±12.6mg/dl respectively.
Possible risk fctors were age, weight, BMI, smoking, drinking, fasting blood sugar, blood pressure, flight time, exercise, diet factors (salt, sugar, caffeine, fat intake )and type A personality.
Age and fasting blood sugar were statistically significant factors in serum total cholesterol level while controlling for the effect of the remaining factors. The older the individual and the higher fasting blood sugar, the higher the level of
serum
total cholesterol.
Age was statistically significant factors in serum LDL-cholesterol while controlling for the effect of the remaining factors. A borderline significant association was found between systolic blood pressure and LDL-cholesterol after mul-tivariate
analysis. The older the individual and the higher the systolic blood pressure, the higher the level of serum LDL-cholesterol.
Only BMI was statistically significant factors in serum HDL-cholesterol. A borderline significant inverse association was found between fat intake and HDL-cholesterol after multivariate analysis. Also drinking was borderline significantly
associated
with HDL-cholesterol after multivariate analysis. Therefore the more the fat intake, the lower of the level of seum of serum HDL-cholesterol and the more the alcohol consumption, the higher the level of serum HDL-choles-terol.
