Popis: To study the association of dyslipemia with macroangiopathy in patients with type II diabetes mellitus.Descriptive crossover study.An urban health district with a socially and economically depressed elderly population.A randomised sample among the diabetics registered in the health district (n = 449).Different factors in the lipidic profile were studied, as was the presence of diabetic macroangiopathy and some of the associated risk factors. The following were considered cut-off figures with a predictive value of cardiovascular risk: overall cholesterolor= 240 mg/dl (40% of the sample), HDL35 mg/dl (27%), LDLor= 160 mg/dl (43%), triglyceridesor= 200 mg/dl (25%), atherogenic indexor= 4.5 (73%) and HDL/LDL balanceor= 0.2 (83%). 85.5% of the diabetics in the sample presented one of the lipidic disorders mentioned above. In the multivariant analysis only hypertriglyceridaemia was associated with a higher prevalence of peripheral vasculopathy.A high percentage of patients with type II DM presented disorders in their lipidic profile. But, unlike the norm in the general population, only hypertriglyceridaemia displayed a statistically significant association with diabetic macroangiopathy. The role of the other dyslipemic factors was limited.
