Features: Hyperlipidemia refers to the elevation of lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol in the human blood. According to surveys, the number of middle-aged and elderly Chinese people with elevated blood lipids is increasing. Currently, the prevalence rate of hyperlipidemia is between 30% and 50%, which is a concerning figure. When blood lipid levels are mildly elevated, patients may not experience any discomfort. However, even mild hyperlipidemia can become a potential health "killer" because long-term high blood lipid levels can easily lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, when blood lipid levels are found to be elevated during a physical examination, it should not be ignored and must be taken seriously. It is essential to adopt dietary therapy or medication therapy based on the doctor's advice, while also changing unhealthy lifestyles to effectively control elevated blood lipids and prevent the occurrence of complications.
