Ingacasha emzimbeni wakho ngaphandle kweempawu, ize ngequbuliso ivule indlela yesifo esinzima esifana nesifo sentliziyo okanye isifo sohlangothi. Ngoko ke indlela ekuphela kwayo yokwazi ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba unayo i-cholesterol okanye awunayo kukwenza uvavanyo lwegazi. Kodwa ngaba wonke umntu kufuneka enze olu vavanyo? Kufuneka ulwenze kangaphi? Makhe sithethe ngale nto ngokweenkcukacha.
Ndifanele ndihlolwe kangaphi i-cholesterol?
Kunzima kancinci ukunika impendulo enye kulo mbuzo. Kuba nemibutho yezempilo ephambili ehlabathini inika iingcebiso ezahlukeneyo ngalo mba. Ngoko ke usenokuba nengxaki encinci. Kulungile, makhe sibone ukuba zeziphi ezi ngcebiso.
| Umbutho | Ingcebiso |
|---|---|
| I-American Heart Association (AHA) kunye ne-CDC | Ukuba usengozini encinci yesifo sentliziyo, licebo elihle ukuba uhlolwe rhoqo emva kweminyaka eyi-4-6 ukususela kwiminyaka engama-20. Emva kweminyaka engama-40, ugqirha wakho uya kubala umngcipheko wakho wokuhlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo okanye isifo sohlangothi kwiminyaka eli-10 ezayo aze agqibe ukuba kufuneka uhlolwe kangaphi. |
| I-National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) | Aba bantu bayayincoma nasebantwaneni.
|
| I-US Prevention Services Task Force (USPSTF) | Bathi kusengqiqweni ukuba i-cholesterol kunye ne-triglycerides zihlolwe ubuncinane rhoqo emva kweminyaka emi-5. |
Uyabona, kukho umahluko omncinci kwingcebiso nganye. Yiyo loo nto sithi esi sisigqibo somntu ngamnye.
Kuza kwenzeka ntoni ukuba kukho izinto ezibangela umngcipheko?
Kodwa la maxesha awafani kuwo wonke umntu. Ukuba unezinto ezithile ezikwandisa umngcipheko wakho wesifo sentliziyo, ugqirha wakho unokucebisa ukuba uhlolwe kwangethuba kwaye rhoqo . Ziziphi ezi zinto zinobungozi?
- Ukuba kukho umntu kusapho lwakho (umama, utata, abantakwenu noodadewabo) onembali ye-cholesterol ephezulu.
- Ukuba kukho umntu kusapho oye waba nesifo sentliziyo eselula (ngaphantsi kweminyaka engama-55 kumadoda, ngaphantsi kweminyaka engama-65 kubafazi).
- Ukuba unesifo seswekile.
- Ukuba une-high blood pressure.
- Ukuba ungumtshayi.
- Ukuba kukho ukutyeba kakhulu.
Ngoko ke, musa ukwenza isigqibo ngokusekelwe kwinto oyibonayo kwi-intanethi okanye oyivayo kumhlobo. Eyona nto ilungileyo nekhuselekileyo onokuyenza kukubona ugqirha wosapho lwakho, uthethe ngezinto ezikubangela umngcipheko, kwaye uvavanywe ngokusekelwe kwingcebiso yakhe.
Yintoni efunwa yi-'Lipid Panel' ebhalwe ngugqirha?
Ukuba ugqirha wakho ugqiba kwelokuba udinga uvavanyo, uza kuyalela uvavanyo lwegazi olubizwa ngokuba yi-'Lipid Panel' . Oku kunokubonelela ngolwazi malunga neentlobo ezahlukeneyo zamafutha egazini lakho. Ngamazwi alula, nantsi into eyenzekayo:
| Yintoni ejongwayo (Icandelo) | Kalula nje... |
|---|---|
| I-LDL Cholesterol | Oku sikubiza ngokuba yi-"cholesterol embi." Iqokelelana eludongeni lwemithambo yegazi, iyenze inciphe kwaye yonyuse umngcipheko wokuhlaselwa sisifo sentliziyo kunye nokubetha kwentliziyo. |
| I-HDL Cholesterol | Oku kubizwa ngokuba yi-"good cholesterol" kuba isusa i-LDL cholesterol embi kwimithambo yegazi ize iyithwale iye esibindini. Ngoko ke okukhona ininzi, kokukhona ingcono. |
| I-Cholesterol iyonke | Le yingqokelela yazo zonke ii-cholesterol egazini lakho, kuquka i-LDL kunye ne-HDL. |
| Iitriglycerides | Olu lolunye uhlobo lwamafutha afumaneka egazini. Umzimba ugcina iikhalori ezingaphezulu kokutya esikutyayo ngale ndlela. Amanqanaba aphezulu ala mafutha akwanyusa umngcipheko wesifo sentliziyo. |
Wenza ntoni xa kufika ingxelo yovavanyo?
Wakuba ufumene ingxelo, ungoyiki okanye wenze izigqibo ngokwakho ngokusekelwe kumanani. Qiniseka ukuba uyayithatha uze udibane nogqirha okunyangayo.
Ngokubanzi, oogqirha abaninzi bacinga ukuba inqanaba le-cholesterol iyonke eliyi- 200 mg/dL okanye ngaphezulu liphezulu kancinci. Ingakumbi ukuba inqanaba le-cholesterol "elungileyo" (HDL) elingaphakathi kwelo nqanaba lingaphantsi kwe-40-60 mg/dL, umngcipheko uyanda.
Kodwa ingcamango entsha kukuba awuzisekeli izigqibo zakho kula manani kuphela. Ugqirha wakho uza kuqwalasela iminyaka yakho, isini, ezinye iimeko zempilo (ezifana nesifo seswekile kunye noxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu), imbali yosapho, kunye nokuba uyatshaya na, aze achaze indlela la manani achaphazela ngayo umngcipheko wakho wonke wesifo sentliziyo. Kusenokwenzeka ukuba amanani akho aphezulu kancinci, kodwa awunazo ezinye izinto ezinobungozi, kwaye kusenokungabikho ngxaki inkulu. Ngokufanayo, ukuba amanani akho aqhelekile kodwa unezinye izinto ezininzi ezinobungozi, ugqirha wakho unokucebisa utshintsho kwindlela ophila ngayo okanye akuqalise ukusebenzisa amayeza.
