  2. Hypercholesterolemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercholesterolemia

    Eating a diet with a high proportion of vegetables, fruit, dietary fibre, and low in fats results in a modest decrease in total cholesterol. [55] [56] [8] Eating dietary cholesterol causes a small rise in serum cholesterol, [57] [58] the magnitude of which can be predicted using the Keys [59] and Hegsted [60] equations.

    [104] [105] For men ages 45 to 65 and women ages 55 to 65, a cholesterol test should occur every 1–2 years, and for seniors over age 65, an annual test should be performed. [ 104 ] A blood sample after 12-hours of fasting is taken by a healthcare professional from an arm vein to measure a lipid profile for a) total cholesterol, b) HDL ...

    Adults 20 years and older should have the cholesterol checked every four to six years. [35] Serum level of Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) cholesterol, High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) Cholesterol, and triglycerides are commonly tested in primary care setting using a lipid panel. [36]

  6. High-density lipoprotein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_lipoprotein

    Epidemiological studies have shown that high concentrations of HDL (over 60 mg/dL) have protective value against cardiovascular diseases such as ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. Low concentrations of HDL (below 40 mg/dL for men, below 50 mg/dL for women) increase the risk for atherosclerotic diseases. [16]

  7. Dyslipidemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslipidemia

    Dyslipidemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally high or low amounts of any or all lipids (e.g. fats, triglycerides, cholesterol, phospholipids) or lipoproteins in the blood. [1] Dyslipidemia is a risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases , [ 1 ] which include coronary artery disease ...

  8. Blood lipids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_lipids

    The average amount of blood cholesterol varies with age, typically rising gradually until one is about 60 years old. There appear to be seasonal variations in cholesterol levels in humans, more, on average, in winter. [3] These seasonal variations seem to be inversely linked to vitamin C intake. [4] [5]

  9. Lipid profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipid_profile

    A lipid profile or lipid panel is a panel of blood tests used to find abnormalities in blood lipid ( such as cholesterol and triglycerides) concentrations. [not verified in body] The results of this test can identify certain genetic diseases and can determine approximate risks for cardiovascular disease, certain forms of pancreatitis, and other diseases.
