Epidemiology of hypercholesterolemia in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg was studied by the mean of a questionnaire filled out by 17 physicians. 113 patients (50 men and 63 women) were recruited. 43 patients had an isolated hypercholesterolemia (type IIa) and 63 patients had a type IIb. Analysis of associated risk factors showed large variations (13.2% of patients had diabetes, 61% were sedentary). However, 33.5% of patients had at least one associated risk factor. The nutritional assessment showed the well-known dietary errors. A two month's treatment with ciprofibrate has shown a 20% decrease of total cholesterol and a 32% decrease of triglycerides. No serious adverse events were reported.
