Summary
Hypertriglyceridemia is one of the risk factors for cardiovascular disease [1, 19]. Women suffer from heart disease less often than men because of the protective effect of female sex hormone, estrogen [20]. Serum triglyceride level statistically shows significant increase among postmenopausal women compared to premenopausal women [15]. Triglycerides and waist circumference often correlates positively [25]. In various studies in several Asian countries, prevalence of women with hypertriglyceridemia was almost close to the prevalence in men [14]. According to Riskesdas (National Baseline Health Research) in 2013, the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia in Indonesia among women was 11.7% which was not significantly different from prevalence among men, i.e. 15.1% [17]. Hypertriglyceridemia is usually caused by weight gain, lack of exercise, diet high in simple carbohydrates, sweet drinks and smoking [7, 12]
