What is the analysis method for the results of six blood lipid tests?

When people reach old age, they often develop some diseases, such as some cardiovascular diseases. Once these diseases occur, they are bound to have a great impact, and in severe cases they will shorten life expectancy. Therefore, for the elderly, it is very important to go to the hospital for a physical examination today. When the elderly go to the hospital for a check-up, they must do six blood lipid tests to understand their physical health. The following introduces the method of analyzing the results of the six blood lipid tests.

Analysis of six blood lipid test results:

Low-density lipoprotein is a risk factor for atherosclerosis (AS). In theory, the higher the high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the lower the low-density lipoprotein (LDL). This is the best

Plus obesity...

The results suggest that you should pay attention to controlling your cholesterol intake, and it is best to eat less eggs and animal offal!

Obesity is also a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is not mentioned in other examinations. High-density lipoprotein is a good protein, it’s just a little low. Everything else is fine, so it’s not a big problem.

It is recommended to eat a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, quit smoking and drinking, eat more vegetables and lower blood lipids. Especially quit smoking and drinking, and do not eat animal organs, brain marrow, etc. This may easily lead to arteriosclerosis, hypertension, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Both blood sugar and blood lipids are high, so you need to adjust your lifestyle, pay attention to a low-salt and low-fat diet, control your diet, control your weight, exercise appropriately, persist in the long term, and do regular check-ups.

1. Triglycerides TG and cholesterol CHOL

Blood lipids are fats in the blood, mainly triglycerides TG and cholesterol CHOL; elevated cholesterol is the culprit of atherosclerosis, while elevated triglycerides aggravate the disease, so they are accomplices.

2. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL-C and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C

Cholesterol CHOL is mainly divided into high-density lipoprotein cholesterol HDL-C and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL-C.

HDL-C can be generally understood as "good" cholesterol because it is transferred from cell tissue blood vessels to the liver to be metabolized, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.

LDL-C can be generally understood as "bad" cholesterol because it will be transferred from the liver to the blood vessels of peripheral tissues and deposited in the arterial walls of blood vessels in the heart, brain and other parts, gradually forming atherosclerotic plaques, blocking the corresponding blood vessels, and finally causing serious diseases such as coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral arterial disease that are fatal and disabling.

Therefore, the level of LDL-C in the blood is directly proportional to the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

In order to better help everyone understand the above four indicators, a theoretical formula is listed under certain conditions:

Total cholesterol CHOL = HDL-C + LDL-C + TG / 2.2

3. Apolipoprotein ApoAⅠ and Apo-B

In the blood, blood lipids exist in the form of lipoproteins, that is, blood lipids + protein; apolipoproteins are proteins that transport blood lipids, and apolipoprotein measurement only measures the protein part of lipoproteins.

The apolipoprotein part of HDL-C is mainly apolipoprotein ApoAⅠ, so the level of ApoAⅠ is significantly positively correlated with HDL-C;

The apolipoprotein part of LDL-C is mainly apolipoprotein Apo-B, so the level of Apo-B is significantly positively correlated with LDL-C;

Elevated apolipoprotein Apo-B is a risk factor for atherosclerotic coronary heart disease.

Special note: Due to differences in instruments, reagents, and methodologies among laboratories, the reference values ​​are also different. The results of each test report shall be based on the reference values ​​noted on the report.

In general, it is advisable for each indicator not to exceed the upper limit. The higher the upper limit, the greater the risk.

Finally, a picture is used to illustrate the harm of hyperlipidemia to the human body. For the sake of health, please maintain a low-fat diet. People with hyperlipidemia should monitor blood lipid levels regularly to prevent and control risks.

High cholesterol foods: egg yolks, animal offal; high fat foods: fatty meat, animal oils.
