연세교직원의 혈청지질농도와 건강변인들과의 관계 = A study on relationship between serum lipid levels and other health parameters of Yonsei faculty members

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to examine both changes in serum lipid concentrations of Yonsei faculty members and correlations between these serum lipid levels and other metabolic or anthropometric parameters. The results are summarized as follows.
1. When the data of '93 and '95 were compared by age and sex, no significant change in serum lipid concentrations was observed.
2. When the subjects were divided into three groups according to PIBW, those below 120% showed a decreasing trend and those above 120% showed an increasing trend in serum triglyceride concentrations.
3. When the data of '93 and '95 on serum lipids and blood pressure were compared, concentrations of LDL-cholesterol (p<0.05) and LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio (p<0.01) of women with abnormal blood pressure were found to be higher than those of women with normal blood pressure.
4. When the correlations between age, blood pressure, serum lipids, and PIBW were analyzed, the PIBW of men was positively correlated with systolic & diastolic blood pressure, serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol concentrations and the ratio of LDL/HDL cholesterol. For women the PIBW was positively correlated with age, systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
From this study both overweight and blood pressure were suggested to be important factors affecting metabolic & health parameters related to the development of chronic diseases. It can be strongly recommended that weight-control programs should be developed and implemented for university professors and staffs with strong support from health-related sectors at both university and government levels.
