Abstract
Objective: Hyperlipidemia is a main risk factor of stroke and cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to investigate characteristics of hyperlipidemia in adult subjects. Methods: Hyperlipidemia-related makers were analyzed using biochemical data from 1,180 (496 male and 684 female) subjects who took medical examination in an Oriental Hospital for the purpose of detecting cerebrovascular accident. Results: 19.7 % of subjects (male 14.7 %, female 23.2 %) had hypercholesterolemia while 21.9 % (male 25.8 %, female 19.0 %) had hypertriglyceridemia. 17.2 % of subjects (male 22.1 %, female 13.6 %) showed low HDL-cholesterol while 13.0% (male 10.3 %, female 14.9 %) showed high LDL-cholesterol. Conclusions: This study will provide helpful information for patients with hyperlipidemia and to develop therapeutics using traditional Korean medicine.
