Abstract
Among 16, 759 persons, 107 persons with hyperlipidemis and with a total cholesterol level over 300mg/100ml were found. The prevalence rate of hyperlipidemia was found to be 0.64 per cent. Among them, 72 persons received reexamination; and by the electrocardiographic finding they were divided into two groups, one group with and the other without ischemic change. The results are as follows:
1) In the group with ischemic change; the average age, the degree of obesity, the mean systolic blood pressure and the mean cardiothoracic ratio were found to be larger than those of the group without ischemic change.
2) In the group with ischemic change; the mean fasting blood sugar, triglyceride and uric acid were found to be elevated compared with the group without ischemic change. The mean HDL-cholesterol level in the former group was a little lower than that of the latter group. It is presumed that the above mentioned differences of clinical findings will act additively on the) development of ischemic heart desease.
