Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases related death rates have been declining over, but during the two decades,
mortality and morbidity attributable by cardiovascular diseases are continuously taking the first place
among the leading causes of morbidity and deaths among the population. Statistics show that >4
million people die each year from cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes in Europe. The World Health
Organization reports that in less developed and developing countries, obesity and mortality are
expected to continue to increase, depending on the age of the population and the characteristics of
lifestyle.
Dyslipidaemia is characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and decreased
high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and is a known risk factor for development and progression of atherosclerosis in CAD.
Dyslipidemia and hypertension are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and account
for more than 80% of deaths and disability in low- and middle-income countries. Increased serum
levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipid (HDL)-cholesterol and decreased
low-density lipid (LDL)-cholesterol are known to be associated with major risk factors for CVD. The
Framingham study and others that followed could show that HDL-C is an independent cardiovascular
risk factor and that the increase of HDL-C of only 10 mg·L(-1) leads to a risk reduction of 2-3%. A
recent meta-analysis, including 302.430 subjects from 68 long-term prospective studies, supported the
importance of HDL-C measurement in the risk assessment for CAD.
However, data about the relationship between cardiovascular disease and lipid profile among
Mongolian adult are rare in the literature. In recent years, rapid urbanization, unhealthy diet, increased
life expectancy and lifestyle changes have led to an increased rate of CVD around the world.
