Abstract
Introduction. According to modern concepts, dyslipidemia with an increase in the amount of cholesterol and triglycerides in the body is the main factor in the development of atherosclerosis and, accordingly, associated cardiovascular diseases. In this regard, population-based studies to identify the prevalence of dyslipidemia (hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia) among certain population groups are of great importance. Aim. Evaluation of the role of the interdependent spread of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia among the population of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the development of cardiovascular diseases associated with dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis. Material and methods. Detection of cholesterol levels in the blood was carried out among 2013 randomly selected residents of the general population (of which 887 men and 1126 women) who participated in the study. After appropriate explanations and on a voluntary basis, blood was taken from the respondents for the study of cholesterol levels. Blood analysis was performed on site using a portable biochemical analyzer to quantify glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides and lactate in capillary blood. All parameters and data were collected in an Excel spreadsheet and then transferred for processing using the IBM SPSS-20 program. Results and discussion. Hypercholesterolemia was detected in 1583 (78.6±0.9%) of 2013 people who took part in the survey. Of the 1583 identified cases of hypercholesterolemia, 1015 cases were accompanied by cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Of the 679 identified cases of hypertriglyceridemia, 589 (86.7±1.3%; t=7.12; p<0.001) had hypertriglyceridemia in combination with cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Although hypertriglyceridemia was detected 2 times less often than hypercholesterolemia, its association with the formation of cardiovascular diseases, arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus was significantly higher. Conclusion. HChS and HTG are involved in the formation of both mono- and combined diseases independently of each other, but in most cases combined diseases are formed with their joint participation.
