ABSTRACT

Introduction. Interpreting medical data from clinical laboratory analyses is a key process in making clinical patient decisions. The decisions are based upon comparing patient results against the reference intervals that are calculated using results from human reference populations.
Objective. Determine the reference intervals of the lipid profile of worker and student populations at the Autonomous University of Morelos State.
Materials and Methods. The subjects were a volunteer group of 142 participants between 20 and 45 years old. The concentration of total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol was determined by endpoint methods of enzymic analyses. The reference intervals were established using non- parametric methods within the two tailed 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles.
Results. The reference intervals were: total cholesterol 90.0-208.3 mg/dL (2.4-5.4 mmol/L); triglycerides 40.7-215.8 mg/dL (0.46-2.5 mmol/L); HDL-cholesterol 26.0-74.9 mg/dL (0.68-1.9 mmol/L) and LDL-cholesterol 31.4-126.7 mg/dL (0.82-3.3 mmol/L).
Conclusions. Comparing our data with other populations found that our results are very similar to other reference populations, and we recommend the use of these values for the clinical interpretation of the university population of the Morelos State, where food, genetics and environmental factors are characteristic of this population.
