Selected cardiovascular risk factors were examined in 272 active pilots of supersonic aircraft in Poland. Hypercholesterolemia was present in 72.4% and hypertriglyceridemia in 17.1% of the pilots. Decreased levels of HDL-cholesterol and increased levels of LDL-cholesterol were found in 86.9% and 69.9% of pilots, respectively. Slightly over half (52.2%) were found to be mildly overweight while 6.6% were obese. The prevalence of smoking was 25.4%. Risk factor modification included non-pharmacological treatment of hyperlipidemia supported by lipid-lowering drugs, depending on the serum lipid level. A significant improvement in lipid profiles was obtained with this strategy, at least over 3 to 6 mo of follow up. The challenge is to develop strategies that will result in maintained improvements.
对波兰272名现役超音速飞机飞行员的选定心血管危险因素进行了检查。72.4%的飞行员存在高胆固醇血症，17.1%的飞行员存在高甘油三酯血症。分别在86.9%和69.9%的飞行员中发现高密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平降低和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇水平升高。略超过一半（52.2%）的人被发现轻度超重，而6.6%的人肥胖。吸烟率为25.4%。危险因素的改善包括根据血脂水平，采用降脂药物辅助的高脂血症非药物治疗。通过该策略，至少在3至6个月的随访中，血脂谱有显著改善。挑战在于制定能够维持改善效果的策略。
