Distribution of total cholesterol, LDL-C and LDL-HDL PFUR students from different climatic and geographical regions
The concentration of total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were determined among students of PFUR aged 17-25, from different climatic and geographical regions.

| Summary: | The concentration of total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were determined among students of PFUR aged 17-25, from different climatic and geographical regions. In all the concentrations (> 6.2 mmol/L) of total plasma cholesterol were detected at 6 (2.4%) students, indicating a high or very high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Elevated levels of plasma LDL-C (> 3.31 mmol/l) were found at 4 (1.6%) students, indicating a high or very high risk of coronary heart disease. Lower concentrations of HDL-C plasma (< 1.31 > 1.1 mmol/L) were detected at 30 (12.4%) indicating a moderate risk of CHD and at 11 (4.6%) students concentration of HDL-C were lower (1,1 mmol/L), indicating a high risk of coronary heart disease. The results can be used as a justification for the screening survey to identify dyslipidemia among adolescents and young adults, with the subsequent conducting of the individual preventive and therapeutic measures. |
