Six Groups to Monitor Triglycerides Closely

People at Risk for Cardiovascular Diseases

Elevated triglyceride levels are an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, especially for those under 65 years old.

Diabetes Patients

Diabetes patients often experience abnormal lipid metabolism and need to monitor triglyceride levels as they may affect blood sugar control and cardiovascular health.

Obese Individuals

Obesity is a common cause of elevated triglyceride levels, so obese individuals should regularly check their blood lipid levels.

People with a Family History of Hyperlipidemia

If there is a family history of hyperlipidemia, individuals may have inherited genes that affect lipid metabolism and should closely monitor their triglyceride levels.

Metabolic Syndrome Patients

Metabolic syndrome is a group of conditions including high triglycerides, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and abdominal obesity. Patients should pay special attention to triglyceride levels.

People Using Medications That May Affect Lipid Levels

Certain medications, such as diuretics and beta-blockers, may affect lipid levels. People using these medications should monitor their triglycerides.
