The purpose of the work. Learning the features of spreading of hypertriglyceridemia among elderly population and its connection with hypercholesterolemia (HXS).Materials and methods. At the same time a survey questionnaire (SF-36 uestionnaire) was conducted and finger-prick blood was tested. The blood test trial was carried out with the help of «Accutrend Plus» portable device. The concentration of triglycerides and cholesterol appeared on the screen within 1-2 minutes with the help of the test system.Results. TG was found in 33,7±1,1% of the population, it was 1,8±2,2 mmol/l in 24,5±1,0%, correspondingly 2,3±5.6 mmol/l (Р<0,005) in 7,7±0,6%, more than 5,7 mmol/l (Р<0,001) in 1,5±0,7%. The random frequency of HTG is rising according to population age increase (q=+0,88±0,09). HTG was 37.0±1,6% among men, and 31,2±1,4% among women (P<0,01). In 25,6±1,0% of cases HTG was observed with HCS, but in 3,1±0,4% of cases it was observed independently.Consequences. Research is important to clarify the role of HTG in the development of cardiovascular diseases in the background of a fairly wide distribution of HTG among the population.
