What Is Hypercholesterolemia? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines
3 likes2,803 views
Hypercholesterolemia is characterized by elevated cholesterol levels in the blood, which can increase the risk of coronary heart disease, particularly in males. General exercise is effective in reducing cholesterol levels for both healthy individuals and those with hypercholesterolemia, as well as in obese or overweight populations. The document discusses the relationship between cholesterol levels, exercise, and mortality, indicating that LDL cholesterol reduction may not impact elderly mortality rates.
What Is Hypercholesterolemia? Summary, Exercise & Guidelines
- 1. Hypercholesterolemia Exercise For Health.
- 2. Q: What is hypercholesterolemia?
- 3. A: Hypercholesterolemia is the presence of elevated levels of cholesterol in the blood. It is a sub-category of hyperlipoproteinemia, which is the presence of elevated levels of lipoproteins (combined fat and protein molecules) in the blood, which is itself a sub-category of hyperlipidemia, or the presence of elevated levels of lipids (fats) in the blood
- 4. Q: How does hypercholesterolemia relate to mortality?
- 5. A: It seems likely that reducing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) does reduce the risk of coronary heart disease events and coronary heart disease mortality in both males and females, and possibly also all-cause mortality in males (although the literature is conflicting) but not in females
- 6. Q: How does hypercholesterolemia relate to mortality in elderly people?
- 7. A: It seems likely that reducing serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) does not reduce the risk of coronary heart disease events, coronary heart disease mortality or all-cause mortality in elderly people
- 8. Q: What are the risk factors for hypercholesterolemia?
- 9. A: Physical activity is associated with a lower risk of hypercholesterolemia while being overweight or obese is associated with an increased risk of hypercholesterolemia
- 10. A: General exercise is able to decrease both total cholesterol and LDL-C while increasing HDL-C in healthy people
- 11. Q: What effect does general exercise have on cholesterol levels in healthy people?
- 12. Q: What effect does general exercise have on hypercholesterolemia in hypercholesterolemic people?
- 13. A: General exercise is effective for reducing hypercholesterolemia in hypercholesterolemic people and is able to decrease both total cholesterol and LDL-C while increasing HDL-C
- 14. Q: What effect does general exercise have on hypercholesterolemia in obese or overweight people?
- 15. A: General exercise is effective for reducing hypercholesterolemia in obese and overweight people and is able to decrease both total cholesterol and LDL-C while increasing HDL-C
- 16. Q: What effect does resistance training have on cholesterol levels in various populations?
- 17. A: Resistance training is effective for reducing both total cholesterol and LDL-C while increasing HDL-C in various populations, including overweight and obese females
