Abstract:
Dislipidemie is important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and food can influence on that on different ways. Aim of this article is to test levels of cholesterol and tryglycerids in participants according to gender, age, level of nourishment and to point on possibilities of prevention and intervention. In analyzed groups, there were 92 adult participants, both genders with no cardiovascular diseases whom were estimated levels of lipid fractions and BMI. Statistical methods in this study were ANOVA and Pearson correlation. Dislipidemies were defined as increased levels of cholesterol, triglycerids, pre beta fractions and LDL cholesterol, and decrease levels alpha fraction and HDL cholesterol. In analyzed parameters of dislipidemy pronounced are decreased levels of alpha fraction (male 70,8%, female 58,1%) and increased levels of pre beta fraction (male 73,3%, female 70,1%). Obese participants have had lower alpha proteins, compared to nonobese (p<0,05). Pre beta fraction correlates with BMI (r=0,24) and correlates negatively with BMI (r=-0,22). Those results implies on necessity of lipid status screening in adult population, where diet regimes with balanced nourishment could prescribe sufficient income of omega 3 fatty acids.
