Who is prone to hyperlipidemia?

  People with a family history of hyperlipidemia: people with hyperlipidemia in their families are likely to have congenital defects in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism hidden in their bodies, and if they are affected by acquired environmental factors or dietary factors, they are prone to hyperlipidemia.  Obese people: obesity in the abdominal obesity is particularly prone to hyperlipidemia, abdominal obesity is also known as centripetal obesity, upper body type obesity, apple type, male-like obesity. Centripetal obesity patients with the thickest body shape is in the abdomen, waist circumference is often greater than the hip circumference, is a common clinical manifestation of adults (especially women) when obesity occurs. A study found that the waist circumference is greater than the hip circumference of centripetal obesity patients have a higher risk of various complications, the risk of its complications such as hyperlipidemia is about 2-3 times that of the whole body proportional obese, and the thicker the waist circumference, the higher the risk.  1, middle-aged and elderly people: the peak age of the onset of hyperlipidemia is: 45-70 years old for men and 50-60 years old for women.  People over 35 years old with long-term large fish and meat high-fat and high-sugar diet: As people’s living standards improve, the high-fat and high-protein diet has advanced the age of hyperlipidemia from the previous age of 50 or more to 30 or 40 years old. The effect of diet on lipids and lipoproteins is particularly obvious. High cholesterol and saturated high fatty acid foods such as animal offal – liver, brain, kidney, cream, butter and animal fats tend to cause an increase in cholesterol; high animal fat and high sugar foods cause an increase in triglycerides. If such foods are used in excess for a long time, it will also increase the metabolic burden within the body, gradually leading to impaired lipid metabolism and the formation of hyperlipidemia.  2, postmenopausal women: postmenopausal women’s lipid metabolism is prone to disorders, which may be related to the decline in estrogen levels in postmenopausal women. Estrogen can make serum total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels decrease and HDL cholesterol levels increase. Therefore, the incidence of coronary heart disease in postmenopausal women is also significantly higher than before menopause.  3, long-term smokers, alcoholics, non-exercisers: long-term smokers and alcoholics will lead to persistently high levels of triglycerides in the body, thus inducing hyperlipidemia. And exercise can improve HDL content and reduce LDL content. Some studies have shown that the blood lipid content of the mental workforce is higher than that of the physical workforce.  4.Patients with diabetes and hypertension: We usually call diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia twins, because the combination of the three patients and their common. The reason for this may be related to the fact that all three are affected by diet, exercise, smoking and alcohol, and patients with high salt or high sugar diets usually prefer high-fat diets. Among them, diabetic patients are prone to hyperlipidemia because insulin deficiency may lead to a clear reduction of certain lipoproteins and their accumulation in the body, and it has also been found that long-term high sugar status will cause different degrees of glycation of plasma lipoproteins, affecting their metabolism and function; while the causal relationship between hypertension and hyperlipidemia is not yet well understood. Therefore, controlling diabetes and hypertension can help prevent and treat hyperlipidemia.
