Ama-Afrika aseMerika aphantsi aMazantsi I-Cholesterol kodwa i-Heart Heart Disease-Kutheni?
Nangona abaphandi abaqinisekanga ukuba kutheni, ubungqina bubonisa ukuba amaAfrika aseMelika anethuba elikhulu lokufa kwesifo senhliziyo kunabantu baseCaucasus baseMelika. Kodwa, ngokweengxelo ezivela kwi-American Heart Association, abantu abamnyama banenqanaba le- cholesterol elingcono kunamhlophe. Izizathu ezibangelwa ukungafaniyo azikho nto, kodwa abaphandi basondela ekufumaneni isizathu.
Ngokutsho kwe-American Heart Association, amadoda namabhinqa abamnyama athambekele ekubeni ne-cholesterol esezantsi ngaphantsi kwama-whites. Umbutho uxela ukuba ama-44.8 ekhulwini lamadoda amnyama kunye namaphesenti angama-42.1 amabhinqa asemnyama aphezulu okanye amanqanaba aphezulu e-cholesterol amanqanaba. Ngokuthelekiswa, ama-47.9 ekhulwini kunye ne-49.7 ekhulwini yamadoda nabafazi abamhlophe banamanqanaba aphakamileyo okanye aphezulu.
Amadoda amnyama ayenamazinga aphezulu angama- LDL , i-lipoprotein ephantsi, "i-cholesterol embi". Umbutho uxela ukuba amaphesenti angama-32.4 abantu abamnyama kunye neepesenti ezingama-31.7 zamadoda amhlophe aphezulu okanye amanqanaba aphezulu e-LDL. Bobabini amadoda namabhinqa abamnyama babe ne-HDL ephezulu, okanye i-lipoprotein ephezulu, ebizwa ngokuba yi-cholesterol efanelekileyo.
Naphezu kwezinga eliphantsi le-cholesterol, abaphandi baxela ukuba abase-Afrika baseMelika basengozini enkulu yokufa kwesifo senhliziyo . Ngokutsho kwe-Ofisi ye-Minority Health kwiSebe laseMelika lezeNkonzo zeNtlalo, abantu base-Afrika baseMelika banencipha encinci yokufumana isifo senhliziyo kunabantu abamhlophe.
Oku kunokubhekisela kwesinye sezizathu ezibangelwa ukungalingani.
Iingcamango malunga nokungafani
Iingcali zenzululwazi aziqinisekanga ukuba kutheni amanye amaqela eentlanga asemngciphekweni omkhulu wesifo se-cardiovascular disease, kodwa aqiniseke ukuba zombini i-genetics kunye nokukhetha izinto zokuphila zidlala indima.
I-genetics yakho iyichaphazela indlela ukutya kwakho kugqityiwe ngayo kwaye i-cholesterol engakanani umzimba wakho uvelisa.
I-cholesterol ayifumaneki nje ekudleni; isibindi sakho sisenza malunga neepesenti ezingama-75 zegazi lakho le-cholesterol. Ukufakelwa kwakho kwemfuzo kunokuchaphazela ukuba i-cholesterol eyakhiwe yintoni kwaye i-LDL yakho ibe yi-HDL.
Abaphandi bancipha kwiijethi ezinokuba zibangelwa i-cholesterol ephakamileyo, uxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu kunye nezinye izifo zesifo senhliziyo, kodwa azikho.
Nangona kunjalo, ezinye izinto zingasemva kwengozi yaseAfrika yaseMelika yokunyuka kwesifo senhliziyo. Ukunyanyisa, enye yezinto ezibalulekileyo ezibalulekileyo zezifo zentliziyo yegazi zixhaphake kakhulu phakathi kwama-Afrika aseMelika. Ngokutsho kwamaziko okuLawula izifo, malunga neepesenti ezingama-48 zabamnyama babecingwa kakhulu ngo-2012.
Ingxelo efana ne-CDC ifumene ukuba iipesenti ezingama-48.7 zama-Afrika zaseMelika zinemeko ebini okanye engozi yobomi besifo; kuthelekiswa nama-35.5 ekhulwini aseMaulika aseMerika. Imingcipheko efundwayo ifunyanwe nesifo sikashukela , ukutshaya, iindlela zokuphila , ukukhuluphala, uxinzelelo lwegazi kunye ne- cholesterol ephakamileyo .
Kwakhona, iifomati ezivela kwi-Ofisi ye-Minority Health zibonisa ukungalingani kwempilo kwizibhedlele zase-US. Uphando lubonisa ukuba ama-Afrika aseMerika akancinci ukuba athole i-aspirin xa efika esibhedlele ngeempawu zokuhlaselwa yintliziyo, fumana i-aspirin xa ekhutshwa kwaye ufumana i- beta-blocker xa ufika ngeempawu zokuhlasela intliziyo.
Nangona ulwahlulo oluncinane, iipesenti ezimbalwa kuphela, ezi manani zingabonisa ingxaki enkulu.
Ukuthintela: Ukunciphisa i-Cholesterol kunye neNtsholongwane yezifo
Kubalulekile ukuthatha uxanduva lwakho malunga neengxaki zempilo yengqondo yakho. ISebe lezeMpilo laseMelika kunye neeNkonzo zoLuntu linika iingcebiso ezilandelayo zokunciphisa i-cholesterol kunye nobungozi bomzimba:
- Yeka ukutshaya
- Ukufikelela nokugcina isisindo esifanelekileyo
- Gxininisa ekutyeni ukutya okungenani ezintlanu zezithelo kunye nemifuno imihla ngemihla
- Dlula kwizilwanyana ezibomvu ngokukhusela inkukhu kunye ne-turkey
- Qala ukwenza imizuzu engama-30 yokusebenzisa rhoqo imihla ngemihla
Kwakhona kubalulekile ukunxibelelana nodokotela wakho.
Iingcaphephe zincoma ukuba amadoda angaphezu kweminyaka engama-35 kunye nabasetyhini abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-45 banokuhlola i-cholesterol nganye kwiminyaka emihlanu ukuba abanakho ukwanda kwengozi yesifo kunye ne-cholesterol ephezulu. Ukuba umntu unomngcipheko okhulayo, ukuhlolwa kwonyaka kuyacetyiswa.
Ukuba i-cholesterol yakho iphakamileyo, ugqirha wakho unokucebisa iinguquko zendlela yokuphila kunye nokuba ngamachiza ukunceda amazantsi e-cholesterol amanqanaba kunye nobungozi obukhulu benhliziyo.
