Examination of Lifestyle Habits at Age 35 that Influence Lipid Data at Age 40 in Men

抄録

Objective: We investigated whether the lifestyle habits of males at the age of 35 influenced their blood lipids at the age of 40.

Methods: From among 2,583 males who underwent health check-ups at 35 and 40 years old in the period from 2008 to 2015, 1,655 without medication for dyslipidemia were selected. We retrospectively examined whether lifestyle habits at 35 years old influenced the occurrence of blood lipid disorders at 40 years old or not.

Results: We assigned 1,503 subjects with normal TG levels at 35 and 40 years old to a TG maintenance group. Also, we assigned 152 subjects with normal TG levels at 35 years old but levels outside the standard range at 40 years old to a TG aggravation group. In addition, 1,363 subjects were assigned to a LDL-C maintenance group and 292 to a LDL-C aggravation group, 1,622 to a HDL-C maintenance group and 33 to a HDL-C aggravation group, in a similar manner to that for TG data. Regarding lifestyle habits at 35 years old, skipping breakfast, smoking, and risky drinking were associated with TG aggravation and risky drinking was associated with HDL-C aggravation.

Conclusions: When there are poor lifestyle habits at 35 years old, we should determine risk factors for increases in lipid data to levels beyond the standard ranges at 40 years old even then the levels at the age of 35 are considered to be normal. Such data are no problem in youth but we still need to pay attention to them.
