Survey on serum free fatty acids levels in patients with hyperlipidemia / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the differences of serum free fatty acids (FFA)between the hyperlipidemia group and the healthy people with different ages and genders.Methods 912 healthy individuals of physical examination (healthy control group) and 1 061 patients with hyperlipidemia were selected and detected the serum FFA,total cholesterol,triglyceride,high density lipo-protein-cholesterol,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,fasting plasma glucose and body mass index.The covariance analysis was used to investigate the differences in the level of serum FFA among different genders and age groups.The relationship between ser-um FFA and other serum lipids index in the patients with hyperlipidemia was analyzed by the multiple correlation analysis.Results The serum FFA level in the middle-aged females,middle-aged males and young males with hyperlipidemia was higher than that in the corresponding control groups;the serum FFA level in the young females with hyperlipidemia was lower than that in the other groups with hyperlipidemia;in the population groups with normal blood lipid,the serum FFA level in the old-age group was signifi-cantly higher than that in the middle-age and young group.Conclusion There is a difference in the serum FFA level in the hyperlip-idemia group with different ages and genders.
