Surveys of the apparently healthy working population of the West of Scotland have revealed a high prevalence of hyperlipoproteinaemia (HIP). In males, type IV occurred more frequently (12%) than in females (3.3%), although obesity played an important part in this finding. HLP also occurred frequently (61%) in survivors of myocardial infarction (type II 39%, type IV 22%) but less frequently in peripheral vascular disease (38%), although there was a higher prevalence in females (47%) than males (32%) largely due to an increased prevalence of type IIa (29.5% cf 7.5%). HLP did not appear to play a significant role in cerebrovascular disease.
对苏格兰西部看似健康的工作人群进行的调查显示，高脂蛋白血症（HIP）的患病率很高。在男性中，IV型高脂蛋白血症的发生率（12%）高于女性（3.3%），尽管肥胖在这一结果中起了重要作用。心肌梗死幸存者中高脂蛋白血症也很常见（61%）（II型占39%，IV型占22%），但在外周血管疾病患者中发生率较低（38%），不过女性（47%）的患病率高于男性（32%），这主要是由于IIa型患病率增加（29.5% 对比7.5%）。高脂蛋白血症似乎在脑血管疾病中不起重要作用。
