摘要：

A study of 1005 family practice attenders at King Fahad National Guard Hospital was conducted during February 1993 to determine the prevalence of hyperlipidaemia and its association with participants' sociodemographic characteristics and clinical problems. The percentage of patients with total serum cholesterol concentration (TSCC) of 5.2-6.8 mmol/l was 39.3%, while those with TSCC exceeding 6.8 mmol/l was 9.5%. Hypertriglyceridaemia (TG >2.5 mmol/l) was found in 5%. TSCC increased progressively with age up to the seventh decade. TSCC was higher among obese and diabetic patients than others. Obesity body mass index (BMI) >29.9 kg/m2 was found in 32.8%, diabetes mellitus in 24.2%, hypertension in 11.1% and both diabetes and hypertension in 6.4%. There is an urgent need to equip primary health care teams with training and resources to help them give proper dietary advice, modify the local lifestyle and screen at least high-risk groups for hyperlipidaemia and other coronary risk factors.
