Abstract
To determine the recent serum lipid levels and other serum variables in the general Japanese population and trends in their changes over the past 40 years, a nationwide survey of serum lipid levels was conducted in 36 institutes from various districts around Japan in 2000. The total number of subjects was 12,839, aged 4 through 99 years. The mean total cholesterol level was 201 mg/dl; 202 mg/dl in men and 200 mg/dl in women. The mean HDL-cholesterol level was 59 mg/dl; 55 mg/dl in men and 65 mg/dl in women. The mean LDL-cholesterol level was 118 mg/dl; 121 mg/dl in men and 115 mg/dl in women. The mean triglyceride level was 118 mg/dl; 136 mg/dl in men and 92 mg/dl in women. The total cholesterol level slightly increased by 5 mg/dl in 10 years. Although the triglyceride level in women did not change, the triglyceride level in men increased over 10 years, especially in the 30s through 70s age bracket, indicating a possible increase in metabolic syndromes in the future. The present results will become the standard serum lipid level data for the Japanese people, and succeeding 10-year surveys will clarify the trends of lipid levels in this country.
