The distribution of blood lipids is described and their role as cardiovascular risk factors in women is discussed. The determinants of serum cholesterol levels are identified in genes, in particular in changes of codes for LDL and HDL; in habitual food intake as polyunsaturated and saturated fats. Obesity, jointed by atherogenic lipoproteins as total and LDL-cholesterol, is considered a risk factor independently on smoking habit or age. Finally the role of menopause in changing lipoprotein levels and in increasing cardiovascular risk is reported.
描述了血脂的分布情况，并讨论了它们作为女性心血管危险因素的作用。确定了血清胆固醇水平的决定因素，包括基因方面，特别是低密度脂蛋白（LDL）和高密度脂蛋白（HDL）编码的变化；以及习惯性食物摄入方面，如多不饱和脂肪和饱和脂肪。肥胖与致动脉粥样硬化脂蛋白（如总胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇）相关联，被认为是一个危险因素，与吸烟习惯或年龄无关。最后报告了更年期在改变脂蛋白水平和增加心血管风险方面的作用。
