Clinical Profile Associated With Hipertriglyceridemia - Abstract
High levels of plasma triglycerides (TG) are a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases often associated with abnormalities in other lipids or lipoproteins. The objective has been to determine the prevalence and factors associated with hypertriglyceridemia
(HTG) and with low HDLc.
Patients included in the clinical register have been analyzed and their data, metabolic and anthropometric have been collected from them. Factors significantly associated with low HDLc and HTG were the female gender, overweight with an increase in the body mass index, tobacco consumption, type 2 diabetes, low-alcohol consumption and a low exercise rate. Among them, two types of association of factors may be identified with the anthropometric variables (especially in men) and the metabolic variables (type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome).
Hypertriglyceridemia & low HDLc association is very frequent and it is related to overweight-obesity and other metabolic disorders, such as mellitus diabetes with or without metabolic syndrome. In this context, TG lowering treatment is more strongly suggested to be recommended to decrease the residual risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
