Abstract
A comparative study of hypercholesterolemia and lipid distribution in males aged 20-54 randomly selected in one of the districts of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Tallinn, Kiev, Novosibirsk, Tashkent, Alma-Ata and Bis hkek has been performed. A comparative interpopulation analysis involv ed mean values of blood lipid spectrum: total cholesterol (TC), trigly cerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLPC), high-densit y lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLPC). TC, TG, LDLPC in blood were higher in European region and Siberia than in Middle Asia populations. These findings correlated with hypercholesterolemia prevalence. An average o f 50 % of European population studied need preventive treatment for hy percholesterolemia.
