TIRADO, Alberto Guevara. Lipoproteins and total cholesterol in adults with normal and elevated cholesterolemia in a clinic in Lima-Peru 2022: A correlational study. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2023, vol.23, n.4, pp.9-14. Epub 30-Nov-2023. ISSN 1814-5469. http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v23i4.5576.
Objective:
To evaluate the degree of correlation between high-density, low-density, and very low-density lipoproteins and total cholesterol in patients with normal and high cholesterolemia.
Methodology:
Observational, analytical and cross-sectional study carried out from January to September 2022 with 207 patients over 18 years of age divided into a group with normal cholesterol and another with hypercholesterolemia. The Spearman correlation test was performed.
Results:
In normocholesterolemic subjects there was a low and negative correlation between high-density lipoproteins and low-density lipoproteins (-0.263) as well as between high-density lipoproteins and very low-density lipoproteins (-0.220). In hypercholesterolemic patients there was a low and positive correlation between high-density lipoproteins and total cholesterol (0.344). In both groups there was a high correlation between cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins and a low and positive correlation between cholesterol and very low-density lipoproteins.
Conclusions:
Lipoproteins are correlated in normocholesterolemics and high-density lipoproteins are correlated in hypercholesterolemics.
