THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PLASMA PCSK9 PROTEIN LEVELS AND SOME RISK FACTORS OF DYSLIPIDEMIA AMONG AIR-FORCE PERSONNELS

Tóm tắt

Objective: Determine the relationship between plasma PCSK9 protein levels and some risk
factors of dyslipidemia among air-force personnels. Methods: This was designed as crosssectional
study in 129 soldiers working on Air Defense - Air Force. Their lipid indexes and PCSK9
levels were measured and some risk factors of dyslipidemia of them were investigated. Results:
Among air-force personnels, the average plasma PCSK9 protein levels of smokers was higher
than that of non-smokers (225.62 ± 69.25 and 197.62 ± 66.16 ng/ml) and the average plasma
PCSK9 protein levels of the drinking alcohol group was higher than that of the non-drinking group
(249.65 ± 74.82 and 193.04 ± 60.31 ng/ml). Conclusion: There were a relationship between
plasma PCSK9 protein levels,smoking and drinking among air-force personnels.
