- W4288068948 abstract "Background: High levels of non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)), and Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) as well as low levels of HDL-C are strongly associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our study aims to estimate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and high Lp(a) in the Lebanese population and to study the relationship of these variables with gender, age, body mass index (BMI), and PCSK9. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on a sample of healthy volunteers aged 18 to 65. Blood samples were drawn from volunteers for total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, TG, PCSK9, and Lp(a) measurements. Non-HDL-C was calculated by subtracting HDL-C from TC. Results: In total, 303 volunteer subjects with an average age of 38.9 years were included in the study. Respectively, 44%, 29.8%, and 44% of men had high non-HDL-C and TG with low HDL-C versus 23.5%, 8%, and 37% in women. Non-HDL-C and TG were significantly higher in men than in women, while the reverse was observed for HDL-C (p < 0.0001 for the three comparisons). Non-HDL-C and TG were significantly correlated with age and BMI (p< 0.0001 for all correlations), while HDL-C was inversely correlated with BMI (p < 0.0001) but not with age. Abnormal Lp(a) levels (≥75 nmol/L) were found in 19.1% of the population, predominantly in women (24.1% versus 13.4% in men, p = 0.004). The median PCSK9 and its interquartile was 300 (254–382) ng/L with no gender difference (p = 0.18). None of the following factors: gender, age, BMI, non-HDL-C, HDL-C, or TG, were independently associated with Lp(a), while PCSK9 was significantly correlated with age, non-HDL-C, and TG in both men and women and inversely correlated with HDL-C in men. Dyslipidemia is very common in the Lebanese population and is associated with age, high BMI, and male sex. Lp(a) is higher in women without any correlation with the lipid profile, whereas PCSK9 is associated with non-HDL-C and TG. Further studies are needed to evaluate the potential role of Lp(a) and PCSK9 in predicting CVD in healthy populations." @default.
