Abstract
Objective: To analyze the possible features of the blood lipid parameters of women in pre-retirement and retirement age. Materials and methods. We used materials of the two major international projects - «MONICA» and «HAPIEE». According to the protocol of these projects a representative sample of the Novosibirsk population have been surveyed. The analysis included data of 6092 women aged 45-64 years. Results. Levels of TC, nonHDL, LDL in women aged 45-54 years were slightly lower (an average - 10 %) than in the 55-64 years, but the frequency of hypercholesterolemia of LDL was high. Similar characteristics were obtained for the values of the so-called «atherogenic coefficient». Conclusion. «Pro-atherogenic» potential of blood lipid profile in women in pre-retirement and the retirement age is significant. In this connection, it is advisable to wider use lipid-lowering medicaments for women 45-54 years in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
