ABSTRACT

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal thresholds of serum lipid level related to hypertension according to age in Korean adults. Methods : In total, 564 adults who visited the health examine center in general hospital were included. The blood pressure and lipid profiles of low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL), high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL), triglyceride(TG) were measured. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to establish optimal thresholds between blood pressure and lipid profiles. Results:The optimal TG cutoff point were 110.50(mg/dl) in the 18-39 and 81.50(mg/dl) in the 40-59 age group, and optimal cutoff point of LDL were 126.50(mg/dl) in the 40-59 age group and 111.00(mg/dl) in the 60 and over. There was a negative correlation between HDL and hypertension, a higher HDL decreased hypertension. The optimal cutoff point of HDL was 49.50(mg/dl) in the 18-39 age group. Conclusion:The thresholds of hypertension were lower in LDL and TG with aging. This result indicated that elderly people needs to concern more about their lipid profiles to maintain healthy cardiovascular function.
