Sažetak
This study researched the distribution of desirable, borderline and high-risk values of certain lipid status parameters in healthy young individuals. The purpose of this study was to research the statistical distribution of desirable, borderline and high-risk values of certain lipid status parameters in healthy young individuals (i.e. medical university students). In this research we tested 112 students studying at the University of Sarajevo, of both genders and 20-30 years of age. Total serum cholesterol was minimally elevated in 7.1% of tested students, elevated with high risk in 2.7% and triglycerides were minimally elevated in 1.8%. Presence of elevated LDL cholesterol was found to be 2.7% minimally and 1.8% with high risk. HDL cholesterol was minimally decreased in 1 tested student. Standard biochemical methods were used to determine the values of total cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol. The level of LDL cholesterol was also calculated. Our results point to the need for performing gradual laboratory diagnostic procedures for routine check-ups of university students.
