Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the atherosclerosis risk of people living in Kocaeli Region. This article gives the results of 448 people that were screened and reports the first part of the study that has already been completed. Our screening group will include about 5000 people in the long run. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, glucose, albumin, uric acid and total bilirubin were measured in our study group. The striking results of our study were: low HDL-Cholesterol (HDL-C), high BMI, high waist to hip ratio (w/h), significant difference in the mean value for triglycericles between the men und the women.

Özet

Çalışmamızın amacı Kocaeli Bölgesinde yaşayan insanların ateroskleroz riskini saptamaktı. Bu yayın 448 kişinin sonuçlarını içeren çalışmanın birinci kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma grubumuz uzun vadede 5000 kişiyi kapsayacaktır. Total kolesterol, trigliserid, HDL-kolesterol, LDL-kolesterol, glukoz, albümin, ürik asit ve total bilirubin çalışma grubumuzda ölçülen parametrelerdi. Çalışmamızın çarpıcı sonuçlar; düşük HDL-kolesterol, yüksek vücud kitle indeksi, yüksek bel kalça oranı, kadın ve erkek trigliserid düzeyleri arasında dikkate değer bir fark bulgularıdır.
