“…In the present study, the mean cholesterol, (21) .In a study by Larco et alHDL and LDL were reported to be 193, 139, 47 and 120, respectively (22) .Finally, by descriptive comparison of these values with the values obtained from the present study, it can be inferred that blood lipid levels are probably outside the normal range in the population with corneal arcus,this is especially true for higher triglycerides in the present study when compared with previous studies. However, this relationship is not conclusively provable due to the lack of a control group in our study.…”

Objectives:The aim of this study was to evaluate serum lipid levels in patients under 50 years of age with corneal arcus. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on patients under 50 years of age referred to the ophthalmology clinic of Imam Reza Hospital in Ardabil who underwent corneal arcus examination. Patients were enrolled in the study by census method.Information needed for patients including age, sex, blood pressure, body mass index, history of smoking and alcohol consumption, history of serum lipid lowering drugs using, Xanthelasma, history of cardiovascular disease and history of cerebrovascular events through history and examinationwere collectedby checklist.The collected data were entered into SPSS version 22 software and then analyzed. Results: A total of 59 cases were included in the study. 36 (61%) of cases were male and 74.6% were overweight or obese. 50.8% of subjects had triglycerides equal to or above 150 mg/dl. Additionally, 15.3% of cases with normal hyperlipidemia were using serum lipid-lowering drugs. There was no significant relationship between age and blood lipid levels (p> 0.05). The prevalence of corneal arcus was higher at older ages and in people with a higher Body Mass Index (BMI), but this association was not statistically significant. The intensity of corneal arcus was not significantly related to age, sex, serum lipid level and BMI (P> 0.05).Conclusion: The prevalence of corneal arcus increased with age. The prevalence of overweight, obesity and abnormal lipid profiles (specially triglyceride cholesterol levels) were remarkably but non-significantly high in our patients under 50 years of age with corneal arcus.

“…There are accumulating data showing that the burden of ASCVD and dyslipidemia is increasing across developing countries: while age-specific ASCVD in many high-income countries is declining, the prevalence of plasma lipid disorders in the Asia-Pacific region is rising [ 14 , 17 ]; similar data were reported for Mexico [ 19 ]. In a recent review, Carrillo-Larco et al demonstrated that the most common type of dyslipidemia in Latin America and the Caribbean region since 2005 is low HDL-C level (48%), followed by elevated TG (21%) and high LDL-C (20%) [ 21 ]. Xing et al [ 22 ] reported a low prevalence of dyslipidemia in the northeast China region—35.8%, higher among urban residents than among rural ones (49.5 vs. 30.2%), and in women than in men (37.6 vs. 33.0%).…”

This study aimed to describe the dyslipidemia prevalence and pattern among adult populations from different regions (n = 13) of the Russian Federation (RF). Randomly selected samples (n = 22,258, aged 25–64) were studied according to the ESSE-RF protocol. Lipoprotein parameters were estimated by routine methods. Statistical analyses were performed using R software (v.3.5.1). The overall dyslipidemia prevalence was 76.1% (76.9/75.3% for men/women). In women, total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-C levels gradually increased with age (from 4.72 to 5.93 and from 2.76 to 3.79 mmol/L, respectively); in men, they reached a maximum by 45–54 (5.55 and 3.55 mmol/L, respectively) and then decreased. No differences in high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-C in men of different ages were found, but slight decreases in HDL-C and apo AI were observed in women by 55–64 years. No pronounced associations between education and lipid levels in men were observed; higher-educated women showed significantly better lipoprotein profiles. Similar associations between lipids and income level were detected. Women from rural areas had higher TC and triglycerides than urban residents. Regardless of sex, rural residents had higher HDL-C and apo AI, and reduced apo B/apo AI. Conclusion: Information on the peculiarities of dyslipidemia prevalence and lipoprotein profile depending on sex, age, residential place, and socioeconomic status is useful for assessing the global ASCVD risk, and for risk modeling based on national data.

“…Los resultados de los estudios mencionados anteriormente presentan una relación cercana con nuestros resultados, puesto que el desequilibrio lipídico de una persona se manifiesta luego de años de comportamientos alimenticios inadecuados o de desórdenes en los estilos de vida. Por ello, la instauración de estilos de vida saludables debe iniciarse eficazmente en edades tempranas, con la finalidad de que estos se mantengan en posteriores etapas (20).…”

Objetivo: estimar el riesgo de prediabetes según los factores que presentan los participantes de un programa de ejercicio físico de la provincia de Chota, Perú. Metodología: estudio observacional, transversal y retrospectivo, desarrollado con 112 participantes pertenecientes a un programa de ejercicio físico. Se utilizó una guía de interpretación para analizar los factores de riesgo y la prediabetes en los participantes, la cual fue adaptada de una asociación norteamericana y dos instituciones de salud peruanas. Las pruebas estadísticas utilizadas fueron el odds ratio de prevalencia (ORP), la fracción etiológica poblacional (FEP) y el chi cuadrado de independencia. Resultados: el sedentarismo (ORP = 3,62), el exceso de triglicéridos (TGC) (ORP = 2,26) y el sobrepeso (ORP = 2,22) fueron los factores de riesgo identificados en los participantes. Según la FEP, si se interviene de manera adecuada y oportuna sobre estos factores, disminuiría la frecuencia de prediabetes en 8,57, 15,24 y 21,40 %, respectivamente. Conclusiones: los factores de riesgo de prediabetes en los usuarios estudiados fueron el sedentarismo, el exceso de TGC y el sobrepeso, resaltando al sedentarismo como el de mayor implicancia. Estos factores de riesgo, que reportaron una relación estadísticamente significativa con la prediabetes, pueden ser controlados y modificados. Por lo tanto, las intervenciones preventivas y promocionales en el primer nivel de atención deben fortalecerse y efectuarse mediante un trabajo integral y sostenible, con la finalidad de disminuir las cifras de prediabetes y condiciones conexas.
