Lipid Research Clinics Program reference values for hyperlipidemia and hypolipidemia.

B M Rifkind, P Segal

    JAMA
    |October 14, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    New reference values for cholesterol and triglycerides in North American populations may lead to more young individuals diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia and fewer adults diagnosed with hypertriglyceridemia.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Clinical Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Established plasma lipid distributions are crucial for diagnosing dyslipidemias.
    • Previous reference values may not accurately reflect current population health.
    • North American populations exhibit diverse lipid profiles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish new age- and sex-specific reference values for plasma lipids.
    • To assess the impact of new reference values on hyperlipidemia and hypolipidemia diagnoses.
    • To provide updated guidelines for population screening of lipid disorders.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of plasma cholesterol and triglyceride distributions in 60,502 participants across ten North American populations.
    • Measurement of lipoprotein cholesterol levels in a random sample of 7,055 white participants.
    • Selection of new age- and sex-specific reference values based on collected data.

    Main Results:

    • New reference values for diagnosing hyperlipidemia and hypolipidemia were determined.
    • Implementing these values would increase hypercholesterolemia diagnoses in younger individuals.
    • A significant decrease in hypertriglyceridemia diagnoses among adults is anticipated.

    Conclusions:

    • Updated reference values are essential for accurate dyslipidemia diagnosis.
    • The proposed reference values will alter population-based screening outcomes.
    • These findings necessitate a re-evaluation of current hyperlipidemia and hypertriglyceridemia diagnostic criteria.
