Correlation Of Lipid Profile And Diet With Premature Coronary Heart Disease In Kirkuk City-Iraq

Abstract

This study was carried out on 160 patients with documented coronary heart disease (CHD) who attended the private medical clinics in Kirkuk city during the period from beginning of August 2009 to the end of July 2011. Their ages were below 40 years old. Full history was taken from each patient, in addition to laboratory investigations regarding risk factors.From 160 patients, 112 were males and 48 were females. The ratio of males to females was 2.5: 1. It was found that the highest rate of CHD was among earners, followed by housewives and officials. The middle economic status and patients on mixed diet had highest rate of CHD.Patients fed on extra-meal had higher CHD than those who had no extra-meal.From 160 patients only 10 patients were practicing regular exercise. The highest rate of CHD was among hypertensive patients while the lowest rate was among diabetic patients.All patients in this study had high level of cholesterol and triglyceride while the level of HDL, LDL and VLDL were within high risk level, meanwhile the value of serum uric acid and blood sugar were within normal range.

Lipid Profili ve Diyetin Irak-Kerkük’te Prematür Koroner Kalp Hastalıkları İle İlişkisi

Öz

Özet: 

Bu çalışma, Ağustos 2009’un başından Haziran 2011 sonuna kadar, Kerkük’teki özel muayenehanelere başvuran, koroner kalp hastalığı (KKH) bulunan, yaşları 40’ın altında olan, 160 hasta üzerinde yapılmıştır. Hastalardan tam tıbbi hikayeleri alınmış ve risk faktörlerini dikkate alarak, laboratuar tetkikleri istenmiştir.

160 hastadan, 112 ‘si erkek, 48’i kadın olup, erkeklerin kadınlara oranı 2.5:1 idi. En yüksek KKH oranı sırasıyla ücretli çalışanlarda, ev kadınlarında ve resmi kurum çalışanlarında bulunmuştur. Orta ekonomik düzeydeki, karışık diyetle beslenen hastalarda saptanmıştır. Ekstra öğün alanlarda almayanlara göre KKH daha yüksek bulunmuştur. 160 hastadan sadece 10 tanesi düzenli egzersiz yapmakta idi. En yüksek KKH oranları hipertansif hastalarda bulunurken, en düşük oran diabetic hastalar arasında saptanmıştır. Bu çalışmaya katılan tüm hastaların kolesterol ve trigliserid düzeyleri yüksek iken, HDL, LDL, VLDL düzeyleri, yüksek risk düzeyinde, serum ürik asit ve kan şekeri düzeyleri ise normal sınırlarda bulunmuştur.
