An epidemiologic study of cholesterol and other risk factors was carried out, which included 1,011 women and 1,001 men older than 20 years, in Acapulco, Guerrero, México. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, as well as to establish the relation of cholesterol levels and the following variables: Age, obesity, hypertension, tobacco smoking and cardiovascular disease in relatives. This study was done in the months of March-August 1991. The prevalence of high cholesterol was 36 percent in women with an average of 189 mg/dl, and 30 percent for men with an average of 183 mg/dl. The difference between levels of cholesterol of men and women reached statistical significance. The average levels of serum cholesterol were higher in older, overweight, hypertensive individuals and the differences were statistically significative. Although the average serum cholesterol level was higher in individuals with history of cardiovascular problems, the differences were not significative. There were no differences in cholesterol levels in individuals with tobacco smoking habits. The prevalence of high cholesterol found means that is an important risk factor for this population, which, added to the other identified factors and its statistical relation, define them as a population with high cardiovascular risk.
在墨西哥格雷罗州阿卡普尔科，对1011名20岁以上女性和1001名20岁以上男性进行了一项关于胆固醇及其他风险因素的流行病学研究。本研究的目的是确定高胆固醇血症的患病率，并确定胆固醇水平与以下变量之间的关系：年龄、肥胖、高血压、吸烟以及亲属中的心血管疾病。本研究于1991年3月至8月进行。高胆固醇的患病率在女性中为36%，平均水平为189毫克/分升；在男性中为30%，平均水平为183毫克/分升。男性和女性的胆固醇水平差异具有统计学意义。年龄较大、超重、患有高血压的个体血清胆固醇平均水平较高，且差异具有统计学意义。尽管有心血管问题病史的个体血清胆固醇平均水平较高，但差异不具有统计学意义。有吸烟习惯的个体胆固醇水平没有差异。所发现的高胆固醇患病率意味着它是该人群的一个重要风险因素，再加上其他已确定的因素及其统计学关系，将他们定义为心血管风险较高的人群。
