[The Oradea study regarding the epidemiology factors in ischemic cardiopathy]
Insights
High cholesterol levels (cholesterolemia) were found in 13.5% of adults in Bihor district. This study screened for ischemic cardiopathy risk factors, including elevated cholesterol.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Epidemiology
- Public Health
- Clinical Biochemistry
Context:
- Screening for ischemic cardiopathy risk factors in 100,482 Bihor district inhabitants.
- Investigated prevalence of cholesterolemia and associated risk factors.
Purpose:
- To determine the prevalence of high cholesterolemia in the Bihor district population.
- To identify other risk factors for ischemic cardiopathy in the studied cohort.
Summary:
- Mean cholesterolemia was 205 ± 43.7 mg/dL, with 13.5% of individuals over 15 exhibiting elevated levels.
- 13.92% of the population had cholesterolemia exceeding 250 mg/dL.
- Associated risk factors included hypertension, obesity, diabetes, smoking, ECG abnormalities, occupational exposures, blood groups, and menstrual cycle disturbances.
Impact:
- Provides crucial data on cholesterol prevalence for public health initiatives in the region.
- Highlights the multifactorial nature of ischemic cardiopathy risk.
- Informs targeted interventions for cardiovascular disease prevention.
Abstract:
Cholesterolemia in a population of 100482 inhabitants of the Bihor district, subjected to screening for the risk factors in ischemic cardiopathy were studied. Together with hyperlipidemias other risk factors were detected: arterial hypertension, obesity, diabetes mellitus, smoking, ischemic alterations of the electrocardiogram, the influence of the noxious agents present at the working place, of the blood groups and disturbances of the menstrual cycle. The mean cholesteremia is of 205 ± 43.7 mgr% (M = 207 ± 43.7 mgr%; F = 204 ± 43.5 mgr%). The prevalence of cholesterolemia, in comparison with the higher normal limits in each age group over 15 years of age, is in the entire studied series, of 13.5%. The population in whom cholesterolemia exceeds 250 mgr% represents 13.92%.
