Hypercholesterolemia is a major public health problem, as it is common in the population and its presence carries an extremely high risk of cardiovascular disease and even death in young people. The aim of this study is to examine the factors associated with the occurrence of hypercholesterolemia.
A total of 1333 subjects (1100 men and 233 women) aged between 26 and 86 who are part of the CARDIO2000 epidemiological study took part in the study. Their demographic, somatometric, clinical and general characteristics as well as their medical history, dietary habits and psychological status were collected from the participants.
From the sample analysis, statistically significant correlations were found mainly between hypercholesterolemia and clinical characteristics, medical history and dietary habits such as weekly meat consumption, daily bread consumption etc. Statistically significant associations were also found mainly between hypercholesterolemia and age, body mass index and depression scale index (CES-D).
Finally, the basic statistical method used to predict the presence or absence of hypercholesterolemia is multiple logistic regression, which revealed that factors related to eating habits such as weekly meat consumption and medical history such as hypertension, coronary artery disease and hypertriglyceridemia are risk factors for hypercholesterolemia. At the same time, it was observed that consumption of seed oil helps to prevent the occurrence of the disease and that the category of people who do not consume coffee are more likely to have hypercholesterolemia than people who consume two cups in the particular sample studied.
