Abstract
Background:
We tried to understand the most desired
values of high density lipoproteins (HDL).
Methods:
Patients with plasma HDL values lower
than 40 mg/dL were collected into the
first, lower than 46 mg/dL into the second,
lower than 50 mg/dL into the third, and
50 mg/dL and higher into the fourth groups,
respectively.
Results:
The study included 256 cases (153 females),
totally. Parallel to the highest HDL values,
the mean age, female ratio, body mass
index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG),
low density lipoproteins (LDL), white
coat hypertension (WCH), hypertension
(HT), and diabetes mellitus (DM) were
the highest in the fourth group. Whereas
coronary heart disease (CHD) was the highest
in the first group in contrast to the
lowest HDL and LDL values. Interestingly,
the mean age, female ratio, BMI, FPG,
WCH, DM, and CHD were the lowest in the
second group. Triglycerides were the highest
parallel to the highest prevalence of
smoking in the second, and they were the
lowest parallel to the lowest prevalence
of smoking in the fourth groups.
Conclusions:
The highest mean age, female ratio, BMI,
FPG, WCH, HT, and DM parallel to the highest
HDL and LDL, and the highest CHD in contrast
to the lowest HDL and LDL values may show
initially positive but eventually negative
acute phase proteins functions of HDL
and LDL. Due to the lowest mean age, female
ratio, BMI, FPG, WCH, DM, and CHD, the
most desired values of HDL may be between
40 and 46 mg/dL in the plasma.
Key words:
High density lipoproteins, low density
lipoproteins, triglycerides, acute phase
proteins, body mass index, smoking, metabolic
syndrome
