title: [The detection of hyperlipidaemia during routine preventive medicine investigations. Serum lipid values in 3006 viennese adults (author's transl)].
abstract: 1. 3006 adult volunteers (1001 women after an overnight fast of at least 12 hours and 2005 women and men, 6 to 8 hours after a light breakfast) were investigated in regard to serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, body weight and height. 2. 73.8% of the men and 75.2% of the women were overweight. The degree of overweight increased with increasing age and only decreased in the advanced age groups. 3. Serum triglyceride and cholesterol values increased with increasing age and showed a decrease in the older groups. 4. Serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels increased with increasing weight, also within each single decade. 5. 21.7% of the 1001 fasting women showed values for TG over 200 mg/dl and/or Chol over 300 mg/dl.
