Role of alcohol, glucose intolerance and obesity in hypertriglyceridemia. 1986

B Israelsson

From a primary health screening 631 subjects with serum triglycerides greater than or equal to 4.0 mmol/l were investigated for underlying factors for hypertriglyceridemia. Obesity, glucose intolerance, or suspected high alcohol consumption were associated in 84.5% if the definitions were: Actual/ideal weight (A/I) greater than or equal to 1.2 (obesity), blood glucose in the fasting state or after 120 min of an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) greater than or equal to 7.0 mmol/l (glucose intolerance), and gammaglutamyltransferase (GGT) greater than or equal to 1.0 mu kat/l (suspected high alcohol consumption). Ninety-seven percent were associated if also those with positive alcohol anamnesis or with A/I 1.06-1.19, blood glucose after 120 min of an OGTT 6.5-6.99, or GGT 0.8-0.99 were included.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009765	Obesity	A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D001835	Body Weight	The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.	Body Weights,Weight, Body,Weights, Body
D003920	Diabetes Mellitus	A heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by HYPERGLYCEMIA and GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE.
D005260	Female		Females
D005723	gamma-Glutamyltransferase	An enzyme, sometimes called GGT, with a key role in the synthesis and degradation of GLUTATHIONE; (GSH, a tripeptide that protects cells from many toxins). It catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-glutamyl moiety to an acceptor amino acid.

D005947	Glucose	A primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement.

D005951	Glucose Tolerance Test	A test to determine the ability of an individual to maintain HOMEOSTASIS of BLOOD GLUCOSE. It includes measuring blood glucose levels in a fasting state, and at prescribed intervals before and after oral glucose intake (75 or 100 g) or intravenous infusion (0.5 g/kg).
