Prevalência de dislipidemias em adultos da demanda laboratorial de Salvador, Brasil

Abstract: Purpose -To determine the prevalence of dyslipidemia in non-hospital laboratory tests of adults from 30.0 (27.8; 32.2)%, high LDL in 30.1 (30.8; 35.4)% and hypertriglyceridemia in 30.4 (29.0; 31.4 )% of the females.As to the male subjects, prevalences were: 24.0 (20.5; 27.5)% for hypercholesterolemia, 26.1 (22.4; 29.3)% for high LDL, 27.6 (25.7; 29.5)% for hypertriglyceridemia. All gender differences were significant. Low HDL occurred in 15.9 (14.2; 17.8)% of males and in 8.0 (7.1; 8.9)% of females. (20,5… Show more

“…The average values of HDL-cholesterol were higher to women, which was also noted in other Brazilian studies 21,26 . The statistically significant difference between the means of HDL-cholesterol in women and men probably explains the finding of different rates of total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol, as the total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol did not show significant different between the sexes.…”

“…Previous studies in Brazil have focused on the frequency of the individual components of MS. For this reason, the level of occurrence of MS within the whole Brazilian population and the factors that determine its prevalence are still unclear. [20][21][22] A further important result deriving from the present study was the strong association detected between MS and overweight, particularly when the whole population was considered. These variables remained significantly associated following adjustment for a number of covariables including age, skin color, marital status, smoking habits and schooling.…”

“…Esses números assemelham-se aos encontrados em 7.392 adultos que tiveram seu perfil lipídico analisado em laborató-rios da cidade de Salvador/BA. Destes, 28% apresentaram colesterol total acima de 240 mg/dL (17). Sendo Salvador uma cidade com poucos imigrantes japoneses, a semelhança desses resultados salienta que os hábitos de vida ocidental atuam de modo semelhante para o surgimento de hipercolesterolemia em populações de etnias diversas.…”
