高脂血症,亦称高胆固醇血症、高低密度脂蛋白胆固醇血症,是导致动脉粥样硬化性心血管病的首要危险因素。最新研究显示,各种心血管病风险人群低密度脂蛋白每降低1毫摩尔/升,主要血管事件可降低21%。高胆固醇与高血压、高血糖同为引发心脑血管疾病的重要危险因素。2011年,《柳叶刀》发表的一项覆盖199个国家和地区54万人群的大规模研究显示,1980年~2008年,以我国为主的东亚地区高血压、体重指数等数据的流行趋势始终与全球保持一致,而高胆固醇呈现的上升趋势却与全球下降趋势 Hyperlipidemia, also known as hypercholesterolemia, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, is the leading risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. New research shows that for every 1 mmol / l of LDL cholesterol in people at various cardiovascular risk levels, major vascular events can be reduced by 21%. High cholesterol and high blood pressure, high blood sugar are also important risk factors triggering cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In 2011, a large-scale study published by The Lancet covering 540,000 people in 199 countries and regions showed that in 1980 ~ 2008, the epidemiological trend of high blood pressure and body mass index in East Asia mainly based on our country Always consistent with the global, while the rising trend of high cholesterol presents with the global downward trend
