背景:国家胆固醇教育计划于20世纪80年代中后期实施。本研究调查了1980 ~ 1992年人群胆固醇知识和筛查以及高胆固醇血症的知晓率和治疗率是否有显著增加。1980-1982年在25 - 74岁的成年人中进行了三次基于人口的调查(N=4086),1985-1987年(N=5735)和1990-1992年(N=6305)在明尼阿波利斯-圣保罗,明尼苏达州,大都市区作为明尼苏达州心脏调查的一部分。进行个人访谈,了解胆固醇水平和高胆固醇血症的认识和治疗。测量血清总胆固醇;高胆固醇血症定义为总胆固醇水平≥ 6.21 mmol/L(≥ 240 mg/dL)或当前使用降胆固醇药物。结果:高胆固醇血症患者对高胆固醇血症的认知从1980-1982年的15%上升到1985-1987年的17%和1990-1992年的55%(P
Background: National cholesterol education initiatives were implemented in the middle to late 1980s. This study examines whether there were significant in creases in population cholesterol knowledge and screening and hypercholesterolemia awareness and treatment from 1980 to 1992.Methods: Three population-based surveys were conducted among adults aged 25 to 74 years in 1980-1982 (N=4086), 1985-1987 (N=5735) and 1990-1992 (N=6305) in the Minneapolis-St Paul, Minn, metropolitan area as part of the Minnesota Heart Survey. Personal interviews about knowledge of cholesterol level and hypercholesterolemia awareness and treatment were conducted. Total serum cholesterol was measured; hypercholesterolemia was defined as having a total cholesterol level of 6.21 mmol/L or more (greater than or equal to 240 mg/dL) or current use of cholesterol-lowering medications. Hypercholesterolemia awareness was defined as the belief of a participant with hypercholesterolemia that her or his total cholesterol was high.Results: Knowledge increased from 15% in 1980-1982 to 17% in 1985-1987 to 55% in 1990-1992 (P
