“…The rates of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia found in this study (around 30%) are similar to results reported from other studies carried out in the Brazilian population showing rates of 20% for hypercholesterolemia 39 and 30% in the case of hypertriglyceridemia 40 in women over 50 years of age. Data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) show Physical activity and parameters of physical fitness Da Silva et al…”

“…Within this group of patients, 118 (79.7%) had normal LDL levels and 30 (20.3%) exhibited LDL ≥ 160 mg/dL. Compared to the historical reference value for hypercholesterolemia prevalence among the Brazilian population,13 statistical analysis showed no difference in frequency between the two proportions (p = 0.1087, chi‐square).…”

“…According to the Brazilian National Alert Campaign, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia is 40% among adults older than 18 years (44.7 ± 15.7 years) 12. Based on data from health care providers, the prevalence of dyslipidemia among adults aged ≥ 20 years is 30.4% for LDL levels greater than 160 mg/dL and 17.8% for triglyceride levels greater than 200 mg/dL 13. The rate of thyroid disorders is 10% 14.…”

OBJECTIVES:The aim of the present study was to establish the frequency of metabolic disorders among patients with sudden deafness and to compare this frequency with data from population surveys.INTRODUCTION:No consensus has been reached regarding the prevalence of metabolic disorders among sudden deafness patients or their influence as associated risk factors.METHODS:This cross‐sectional study enrolled all sudden deafness patients treated in the Otolaryngology Department of the University of São Paulo between January 1996 and December 2006. Patients were subjected to laboratory exams including glucose and cholesterol levels, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol fraction, triglycerides, free T4 and TSH.RESULTS:The sample comprised 166 patients. We observed normal glucose levels in 101 (81.5%) patients and hyperglycemia in 23 (18.5%) patients, which is significantly different (p < 0.0001) compared to the diabetes mellitus prevalence (7.6%) in the Brazilian population. Cholesterol levels were normal in 78 patients (49.7%) and abnormal in 79 (50.3%) patients, which is significantly different compared to the Brazilian population (p = 0.0093). However, no differences were observed in low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol fraction (p = 0.1087) or triglyceride levels (p = 0.1474) between sudden hearing loss patients and the Brazilian population. Normal levels of thyroid hormones were observed in 116 patients (78.4%), and abnormal levels were observed in 32 (21.6%) patients. Compared with the prevalence of thyroid disorders in the general population (10%), statistical analysis revealed a significant difference (p = 0.0132) between these two groups.DISCUSSION:Among sudden deafness patients, we observed frequencies of hyperglycemia and thyroid disorders that were more than twice those of the general population.CONCLUSIONS:Hyperglycemia and thyroid disorders are much more frequent in patients with sudden deafness than in the general population and should be considered as important associated risk factors.

High cholesterol, obesity and cardiovascular diseases tend to accompany the economic development of a country. This occurs not only from increased supply of fatty foods, but also from ignorance and use of poor diets. It is known that the dietary habits of the different populations reflect a historical process of adaptation to the regional realities. Chicken skin is rich in cholesterol and the emergence of this in the blood depends on the composition of the diet, and increased consumption by the Brazilian population has been noted in the last few decades concurrently with increased poultry consumption. It is also known that the population consumes fried skin, which further impacts health. To restrict the use of the skin maybe through legislation was the best solution, but it would affect the productivity of the poultry sector negatively. In Brazil, per capita poultry consumption passed from 4 to 23 kg/year. A study was developed to reduce consumption of chicken skin while maintaining or enhancing poultry profitability by converting skin into treated leather. The collected data allowed inference of the economical viability and consumer benefits. The first stage of this work was the study of the economical variability and the skin transformation in treated leather. A second phase is planned to obtain representative analyses of skin nutritional content (cholesterol, fatty acids and triglycerides), to further quantify fats composition prior to cooking.
