The prevalence rates of xanthelasma and corneal arcus were computed for normolipidemic and dyslipoproteinemic participants in the Lipid Research Clinics population surveys. The prevalence of both xanthelasma and corneal arcus increased with age, was highest in persons with type II phenotype, and
The frequency and degree of arcus in relation to a number of attributes or risk factors were tested in 534 male patients of all ages with coronary heart disease. Frequency and degree of arcus were positively associated with age and with lifetime alcohol intake. Arcus was negatively associated with
In the prospective Basel longitudinal study on aging (1955-1978) 123 men (age at entry from 6-61 years) were investigated in 2 year (average) intervals. Complete case histories are available on 67 subjects over the entire period (19.6 +/- 0.85 years). Part I of the study was to confirm the
OBJECTIVE
To determine the prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia in individuals with other major risk factors of coronary heart disease and markers of hypercholesterolaemia.
METHODS
A community-based cross-sectional study on a random sample of 261 persons aged between 35 and 69 years residing in the
OBJECTIVE
To assess the frequency and the clinical, biochemical, and molecular aspects of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in subjects attending an endocrinology unit.
METHODS
An observational, descriptive study evaluating 3,140 subjects attending the endocrinology unit of Centro Médico Orinoco in
The first concern in primary prevention is the physician's belief that primary prevention is important for all adults and that intervention can significantly affect risk. Given the coronary plaque burden over many years and the importance of the development of healthy lifestyles early in adulthood
1. Major risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) are smoking, blood pressure and blood cholesterol and they interact in a multiplicative fashion. Family history of premature coronary heart disease and lack of exercise also contribute. Obesity increases risk probably mainly by its effect on
Hypertriglyceridaemia is an inappropriate elevation in plasma of chylomicrons, very low density lipoprotein, or both, functioning in the transport of exogenous and endogenous neutral fat respectively (lewis, 1976; Miller, 1979). The elevation may be due to rare genetically-determined defects or to a
OBJECTIVE
(a) To determine the excess mortality from all causes and from coronary heart disease in patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia; (b) to examine how useful various criteria for selective measurement of cholesterol concentration in cardiovascular screening programmes are in identifying
