Hyperlipidaemia was defined as total cholesterol [greater than or equal to] 6.22 mmol/L, triglycerides [greater than or equal to] 2.26 mmol/L, LDL-C [greater than or equal to] 4.14 mmol/L, HDL-C < 1.04 mmol/L, or a self-reported previous diagnosis of
hyperlipidaemia by physicians.
To assess the association of
hyperlipidaemias in patients with varying levels of vitamin
On multivariate analysis adjusted for age, sex, and comorbidities (diabetes, hypertension,
hyperlipidaemia, and current smoker), however, the IOP in the first quartile of free T4 and T3 were higher than the second or other quartiles significantly (Table 5).
Mohamad and Chong encountered a 78-year-old female who was feverish and vomiting with a background of
hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, and dementia.
In another group, TC (>6.0 mmol/L), LDL (>4 mmol/L) and TG (>2.0 mmol/L) were seen in 322 (5.1%), representing mixed
hyperlipidaemia and imposing cardiovascular risk.
And an example of a familial disorder is
hyperlipidaemia which is abnormally high levels of fat in the blood.
One of the issues associated the
hyperlipidaemia is that it is a silent disease and although there are certain characteristics such as xanthelasma palpebrarum, which are yellowish patches consisting of cholesterol deposits above the eyelid more commonly observed with familial hypercholesterolaemia, it is only detectable with clinical investigation.

A total of 68 (50%) patients had chronic medical illnesses other than T1DM, and the most common comorbidities were

They performed a double-blind, crossover designed trial versus placebo in 40 overweight subjects with mixed
hyperlipidaemia. Results were published in Nutrition Journal (March online).
The second most common risk factor was cigarette smoking (63%), while the least common was
hyperlipidaemia (3%).
(2) Cardiovascular disease stems from risk factors including smoking, hypertension,
