This study found the lowest recorded population cholesterol levels in rural Tyrol, Austria, potentially due to a decade-long risk factor intervention program. Women had higher HDL cholesterol and lower triglycerides than men.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Health
  • Lipid Metabolism
  • Public Health Interventions

Context:

  • A 1987 screening of adults (20-74 years) in a rural Tyrolean community assessed plasma lipid profiles.
  • This population exhibited notably low mean cholesterol levels compared to other Austrian data.

Purpose:

  • To report on the plasma lipid levels (cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides) in a rural Austrian population.
  • To investigate potential contributing factors, such as a long-term risk factor intervention program, to observed lipid levels.

Summary:

  • Mean cholesterol was 205.8 mg/dl in men and 207.9 mg/dl in women, representing the lowest population-based values recorded in Austria.
  • High-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol was significantly higher in women (63.7 mg/dl) than men (51.1 mg/dl).

  • Non-fasting triglycerides were higher in men (186.3 mg/dl) compared to women (122.1 mg/dl).

    • Impact:

    • Findings suggest the effectiveness of community-wide risk factor intervention programs in reducing population cholesterol levels.
    • Provides baseline lipid data for a specific Austrian rural population, valuable for epidemiological studies and public health planning.
