Abstract
We have examined following 15 risk factors for atherosclerosis on the 1, 279 persons (male 521 and female 758) who had visited health examination at Fujieda city during the period of 1981.
CRFI was newly settled as follow: (T-cholest—erol-HDL-CHO)/T-cholesterol. Age, obesity, electrocardiogram, ocular fundus, blood pressure, GOT, T-cholesterol, tryglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, white blood cells count (WBC), red blood cell counts (RBC), hematocrit (Ht), hemoglobin (HGB), blood sugar, uric acid and cholesterol risk factor index (CRFI) were determined.
Higher points of CRFI (>0.8) were counted 5.7% on male group and 5.0% on female group. A significant high co-relation between Ht and WBC was noted on the male group. In the female group, significant differences were noted among the 1) age, uric acid and blood pressure systolic and diastolic, 2) age-T-cholesterol-ocular fundus, 3) age and CRFI, and 4) TG-blood pressure systolic.
The common risk factors for both male and female groups were as follow: 1) Fundscopieage-blood pressure syst. and diast. are co-related, 2) Fundus hypertonie-ECG-blood pressure systolic, 3) Uric acid-tryglyceride-T-cholesterol-CRFI-obesity, 4) Fundus hypertonie-sclerosis-Keith Wagener finding, 5) Ht-RBC-HGB, and 6) HDL-CHO had negative co-relation to TG.
