We investigated whether hypercholesterolemia influenced the values of mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR).
A total of 463 nonanemic elderly persons were evaluated regarding red cell indices, ESR, and ESR-related parameters, such as fibrinogen, albumin, and C-reactive protein (CRP).
There were no significant differences in MCV between elderly men with and without hypercholesterolemia (>/=240 mg/dl) nor between the subjects with a marked increase of serum cholesterol concentrations (>/=260 mg/dl) and with severely lowered cholesterol concentrations (<155 mg/dl). ESR in elderly men with hypercholesterolemia averaged 12.3+/-6.8 mm/h, which were significantly higher than in those without hypercholesterolemia (6.0+/-4.7 mm/h, p<0.01). ESR averaged threefold higher in the elderly men with serum cholesterol concentration >/=260 mg/dl versus those with serum cholesterol concentrations <155 mg/dl, although no significant differences were observed in fibrinogen, albumin, and CRP values between the two groups. Serum cholesterol concentrations were higher in elderly men with ESR>/=15.0 mm/h (248.9+/-43.5 mg/dl), compared to those with ESR<2.0 mm/h (199.5+/-31.7 mg/dl, p<0.01). Serum cholesterol concentrations showed no associations with red cell indices but correlated significantly with ESR in elderly men (r=0.24, p<0.01) and postmenopausal women (r=0.21, p<0.01).
Hypercholesterolemia does not appear to influence MCV but significantly accelerates ESR, especially in elderly men.
我们研究了高胆固醇血症是否会影响平均红细胞体积(MCV)和红细胞沉降率(ESR)的值。
对总共463名非贫血老年人进行了红细胞指数、ESR以及ESR相关参数(如纤维蛋白原、白蛋白和C反应蛋白(CRP))的评估。
患有和未患有高胆固醇血症(≥240mg/dl)的老年男性之间,以及血清胆固醇浓度显著升高(≥260mg/dl)和严重降低(<155mg/dl)的受试者之间,MCV均无显著差异。患有高胆固醇血症的老年男性的ESR平均为12.3±6.8mm/h,显著高于未患有高胆固醇血症的男性(6.0±4.7mm/h,p<0.01)。血清胆固醇浓度≥260mg/dl的老年男性的ESR平均是血清胆固醇浓度<155mg/dl的老年男性的三倍,尽管两组之间的纤维蛋白原、白蛋白和CRP值没有显著差异。ESR≥15.0mm/h的老年男性的血清胆固醇浓度(248.9±43.5mg/dl)高于ESR<2.0mm/h的老年男性(199.5±31.7mg/dl,p<0.01)。血清胆固醇浓度与红细胞指数无关联,但与老年男性(r=0.24,p<0.01)和绝经后女性(r=0.21,p<0.01)的ESR显著相关。
高胆固醇血症似乎不影响MCV,但会显著加速ESR,尤其是在老年男性中。
