Dyslipoproteinemias in industrial workers: relationship with hypertension and overweight
1Department of Physiology, Psychology and Ergonomics, National Center of Hygiene, Medical Ecology and Nutrition, Sofia, Bulgaria.
Abstract:
The aim of the investigation was to study the lipid profile of industrial workers with attention to the relationship of lipid indexes with hypertension and overweight. 139 hypertensive male blue-collar workers were investigated, compared to 107 normotensive ones. The overweight and obese workers in each group were compared with normal body mass ones. Cholesterol and triacylglycerols (TG) were assayed by enzymatic tests CHOD-PAP and GPO-PAP respectively and the lipoprotein fractions were separated by precipitation method. Our results show high rate of industrial workers with dyslipoproteinemias, especially among the hypertensive and overweight and obese ones. The hypertension is associated with total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and low density lipoprotein TG (LDL-TG), while overweight is related with TG and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), effecting significantly on very low density lipoprotein TG (VLDL-TG). The high rate of persons with concentrations of the examined lipid indexes indicating moderate and high cardiovascular risk motivates multifactorial preventive strategy towards coping the hypertension, optimizing the nutritional habits, increase in physical activity and reduction of body mass.
