다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Hypercholesterolemia is recognized as a major risk factor of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Recently, as dietary pattern in Korea is changed to Westernized dietary pattern, so the concentration of serum cholesterol is being observed higher than the past. The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference of dietary pattern between hypercholesterolemia and control group in Korea. We gathered case group among persons who had been verified hypercholesterolemia and control group among persons who had taken medical examination in Asan Medical Center.
The results are as follows;
1) The hypercholesterolemia group and control group consist of 78 and 140 cases, respectively.
2) The differences of smoking and alcohol histories between two groups were not significant. The number of cases of participating regular exercise in male hypercholesterolemia group is significantly less than the control group, but not in female case.
3) The body weight, relative body weight, and body mass index in male hypercholesterolemia group were significantly greater than those in control group, but not in female case.
4) The total cholesterol, LDL-C and TC/HDL-C in hypercholesterolemia group were significantly greater than control group. The difference of HDL-C between two groups was not significant. The triglyceride in male hypercholesterolemia group was significantly greater than control group, but not in female case.
5) The cholesterol intake in male and premenopausal female hypercholesterolemia group was greater than that in control group, but not in postmenopausal female case. The differences of intake in total energy, carbohydrate, fat, protein, fiber, animal fat, vegetable fat, animal protein and soy protein between two groups were not significant.
