71% of people with high cholesterol don’t know they have the disease

High cholesterol – easy to get but difficult to detect

High blood fat, also known as fatty blood, is a dangerous disease for cardiovascular health. High blood fat can lead to diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke…

According to statistics of the National Institute of Nutrition, our country currently has about 29% of adults with high blood fat. In urban areas, this rate is up to 44.3%. In particular, the most worrying is that 71% of patients do not know they have the disease until they go to the doctor and most of them do not know the complications of the disease.

In addition, a study by the World Health Organization (WHO) showed that the rate of people with fatty blood in Vietnam increased fastest in the 35-44 age group.

Medical experts said that the cause of the disease is due to a sedentary modern lifestyle and improper nutrition. Most young people today are drawn to fast foods that are high in fat and starch. Not to mention, alcohol abuse is also the reason for high blood fat.

In addition, Vietnamese people are also spending more time with electronic devices such as phones and tablets instead of exercising or playing sports. This leads to being overweight, which increases the risk of high cholesterol.

Although easy to get, high cholesterol is difficult to detect. According to experts, high cholesterol often undergoes a long-term impact, only when factors that hinder blood circulation to the organs are formed, causing headaches, numbness in the limbs, dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, heart palpitations… These signs are sometimes confused with symptoms of other diseases, making patients subjective, not thinking they have fatty blood.

Many people are startled when they are diagnosed with high blood fat despite always applying a scientific diet, even being a vegetarian. According to many studies, only 20% of cholesterol comes from food intake, the remaining 80% is synthesized by the body. Therefore, even if you do not consume cholesterol by eating, many people are still at risk of excess cholesterol and dyslipidemia.

This is the reason high blood fat can happen to anyone, including thin people, people on a “low-fat” diet.
