[Dynamics of blood lipid levels in urban inhabitants]

The screening covered serum levels of lipids and lipoproteins in 3 random selects of males aged 20 to 59. The examinees residing in major industrial city (Ufa) demonstrated reliably higher occurrence of dyslipoproteinemia in comparison with the rural inhabitants. Serum levels of triglycerides, cholesterol and lipoprotein-bound cholesterol among the urban examinees vary (p < 0.05) in comparison with the rural ones. Age-related trends of lipid parameters are changed. Coefficient of atherogenicity tends to change more drastically among the workers, if compared to that among the rural examinees, so a conclusion on higher relative atherogenic risk could be made.
