title: [Features of lipid metabolism in patients of different sexes and ages with dyscirculatory encephalopathy].
abstract: Lipid metabolism was studied in 312 males and females of young, middle, elderly and senile ages with dyscirculatory Stage I and II encephalopathy induced by atherosclerosis, arterial hypertension, or their combination. The control group was composed of 216 clinically healthy age-matched subjects. Marked hyperlipidemic shifts in the form of hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), hypercholesterolemia (HC) and hyperbetalipoproteinemia (HBL) were found in patients of both sexes under 45 years of age: HC and marked HTG were significantly more frequent in males. In middle-aged patients marked HTG was more common in males and HC in females. Elderly and senile patients as compared with young and middle-aged ones were characterized by a low cholesterol coefficient of atherogenicity and high levels of high density lipoproteins with antiatherogenic action. The most frequent type of hyperlipidemias in patients of all age groups was IIa, Types IIb and IV were observed less commonly.
