[Primary hyperlipoproteinemia and cardiovascular diseases in relation to age].
The primary hyperlipoproteinaemia is a frequently appearing disease of the second half of life. Out of 188 patients with hyperliporpoteinaemia 19% were at an age of 40-49 years, 33% at an age of 50-59 years and 51% of 60-69 years. The type IV of hyperlipoproteinaemia was the most frequent one (19%), in the second place was type IIa (21%) and in the third place was type IIb (14%). In the 5th decade of life type IV prevailed in males and type IIa in females, in the 6th and 7th decade of life nearly the same percentage for these types was to be found in both sexes. In 60% of the patients with hyperlipoproteinaemia we found a hypertension, in males in 20% coronary insufficiency appeared already in the 4th decade of life, then it rose to 70%, in females these appearances occurred about 10 years later. 9% of the patients fell ill from myocardial infarction. A general arteriosclerosis appeared in 63% of the males and in 89% of the females beginning with the 5th decade of life, then it still increased. Therefore, adequate preventive and curative measures (diet and pharmaca) are necessary in time.
