在为在一个地中海区域的 cardio-cerebro-vascular 疾病的不受管束的全部的浆液胆固醇的流行的趋势， 1988/89-2008/09

AIM: To examine trends of uncontrolled total serum cholesterol, treatment and control in a Mediterranean region(Campania). METHODS: We considered and compared the data collected as part of 'Montecorvino Rovella Project' 1988-1989 and cross-sectional data from the two phases of the 'VIP Project-Valle dell’Irno Prevenzione': 1998-1999(1stphase) and 2008-2009(2ndphase), in the 35-74-year-old-population. RESULTS: Data show a reduction of mean cholesterolemia in the last twenty years of 7.3 mg/dL for men and unchanged values for women. In the three surveys the mean values for serum cholesterol are in men: 205.2 ±47.1 mg/dL(1988/89), 200 ± 38.9 mg/dL(1998/99) and 197.9 ± 40.2 mg/dL(2008/09); in the women: 203.1 ± 42.5 mg/dL(1988/89), 198.9 ± 37.9 mg/dL(1998/99) and 203.3 ± 39.3 mg/dL(2008/09). Prevalence of uncontrolled high cholesterol ≥ 240 mg/dL for men decreased from 20.8%(1988/89) to 14.3%(1998/99) and 13.9%(2008/9), P = 0.002; for women the values decreased from 19.9%(1988/89), to 18.2%(1998/99) and 18.1%(2008/09), P = 0.007. Is statistically increased the number of patients treated and those treated to target. CONCLUSION: Encouraging increases in awareness, treatment, and control of hypercholesterolemia occurred from 1988 through 2008. Nevertheless, control of hypercholesterolemia remains poor.
