1 Review pissn eissn Dyslipidemia in Older Adults and Management of Dyslipidemia in Older Patients Kwang-il Kim Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, Korea JLA 노인과이상지질혈증 김광일 분당서울대학교병원내과 In Korea, the number of older adults, particularly of the very elderly people, is expected to be increasing for the upcoming years. This demographic change has profound implication for medical and health care systems. As more people live a longer life, it is important to understand the chronic diseases or health problems which affect the health status or quality of life among the older adults. It has been well established that cardio-cerebrovascular diseases have important roles and impacts on functional capacity and health status of older adults. Recently, many risk factors which increase the risk of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases have been identified. Among them, dyslipidemia is one of the most important risk factor for cardio-cerebrovascular disease. However, there remain several questions regarding the clinical importance of dyslipidemia in older adults, safety and efficacy issue in treating dyslipidemia with statin in older adults, and the relationship between genetic factors associated with lipid profile and longevity. In this review, I will discuss current evidence and data on the topic of dyslipidemia in older adults. Key Words: Dyslipidemia, Older adults, Cardiovascular disease, Statin 서론 우리나라는이미지난 2000년 65세이상의인구가 7.2% 를차지하여고령화사회 (aging society) 에진입하였고 2026년에는 20% 를넘어초고령사회 (super-aged society) 가될것으로전망된다. 특히 80세이상의초고령자의증가속도가두드러져서 2005년 80세이상의인구가전체인구중 1.4% 에불과하였지만 2050년에는전체인구의 14% 를차지할것으로예상된다. 1 우리나라의고령화는세계에서유래를찾아볼수없을정도로빠른속도로진행되고있기때문에노인에서흔한질환및노인의 삶의질과건강수준에영향을미치는질환에대한관심과적절한대비책이마련되어야할것이다. 이러한측면에서향후우리나라에서는심뇌혈관계질환의임상적중요성이더욱부각될것으로예상된다. 즉, 심뇌혈관계질환으로인한사망의대다수가노인에서발생하며, 신생물질환에의한사망은초고령자에서감소하는추세를보이는것에비해심뇌혈관질환에의한사망률은지속적으로증가하고, 심뇌혈관질환으로인해일상생활수행능력의장애를초래함으로써기능의존의위험성이증가된다는점을고려할때노인에서심뇌혈관계질환의중요성은앞으로더욱더강조될것이다.

Distribution of total cholesterol in Korean adults for age, sex, and menopausal status 본원고에서는향후더욱더중요한임상문제가될심뇌혈관질환의위험요인인이상지질혈증에대해노화에따른변화, 스타틴치료에있어서젊은성인과차이, 그리고건강장수의지표로서고밀도지단백 (high density lipoprotein, HDL) 콜레스테롤의의의에대해알아보도록하겠다. 1. 연령증가에따른콜레스테롤수치의변화와임상적의의연령이증가함에따라혈중콜레스테롤수치의변화가관찰된다. 2 특히여성의경우에는폐경이라고하는특정시기를전후로하여, 혈중콜레스테롤과중성지방의수치가급격하게변화하게되고, 이러한변화가폐경이후여성에서심혈관질환의위험도가증가하는현상과관련되어있는것으로알려져있다 (Fig. 1). 3 따라서노인연령층에서는남자보다여자의혈중총콜레스테롤, 저밀도지단백 (low density lipoprotein, LDL) 콜레스테롤, 중성지방수치가높고, 여성에서폐경이후 HDL 콜레스테롤수치가급격하게감소하기때문에총콜레스테롤 /HDL 콜레스테롤수치도노인에서는여성이더높다는점을주목해야할것으로생각된다. 일반적으로노인에서는연령이증가할수록총콜레스테롤수치와 LDL 콜레스테롤수치가감소하게되며, 일부코호트연구결과에서는혈중콜레스테롤수치와사망률은역의상관관계를보여, 너무낮은혈중콜레스테롤수치가오히려노인에서는나쁜 3,572명을총콜레스테롤수치에따라 4 그룹으로나누어추적관찰한결과예상과는달리혈중총콜레스테롤수치가낮을수록사망률이높은결과를보였다. 4 이러한결과를토대로노인에서콜레스테롤의과도한저하는감염증, 암발생등의증가로인해사망률이증가될수있다는우려가제시되었다. 그러나콜레스테롤이낮았던그룹이보다고령이었고체중감소가동반된환자가많았다는점을고려할때콜레스테롤에의한차이라기보다는다른요소 ( 고령, 전신상태불량 ) 가환자의예후와관련되었다는분석이보다적합하다고생각된다. 특히고령의환자에서관찰되는낮은콜레스테롤수치는동반질환, 노쇠, 콜레스테롤대사의변화, 영양불량등이원인으로생각되며, 일부에서는콜레스테롤이낮은사람들이오래생존하기때문에관찰되는현상으로설명하기도한다. 그러나 Rancho Bernardo Study 등의종적관찰연구 (Longitudinal study) 에서도연령이증가할수록콜레스테롤수치가낮아진다는사실이밝혀지면서, 단순하게생존이증가함에따라나타나는현상은아닌것으로생각된다. 5 결론적으로노인에서는연령이증가할수록혈중콜레스테롤수치는감소하는경향을관찰할수있으나, 노인환자는젊은성인에비해심뇌혈관질환의발생위험이증가되어있기때문에노인에서관찰되는이상지질혈증도절대적인수치로비교하면중요한위험인자이며, 오히려치료를통해콜레스테롤수치를낮추었을때기대되는이득은더크다고할수있겠다 (Fig. 2). 6 예후와관련될수있다는우려가제시된적이있었다. 즉, 2001년발표된 Honolulu Heart Program 코호트연구결과에따르면 2

HDL 콜레스테롤과장수 HDL 콜레스테롤은콜레스테롤대사에관여하여여분의콜레스테롤을간으로수송하여담도를통해배설시킴으로써죽상동맥경화의위험성을감소시키지만, 그자체가항염증, 항산화, 항혈전기전을통해심혈관질환의발생위험을낮추는데에도기여한다. 한가지흥미로운사실은백세인과같이장수를하는대상자들이보여주는유전적특성중에 HDL 대사에관련된유전적변이가흔히관찰되며, 장수인가계에는 HDL 콜레스테롤수치가낮은사람이드물다는점이다 (Table 1). 7 또한장수인및그직계가족의경우단순히 HDL 콜레스테롤 수치뿐아니라입자의크기도보다크다는사실이밝혀짐으로써양적인변화뿐아니라, 질적으로도차이를보인다는사실이보고된바있다. 따라서일반적으로는연령이증가함에따라 HDL 콜레스테롤수치가감소하지만, 장수가계에서는 HDL 대사에관여하는유전적인변이를동반함으로써연령증가에따른 HDL 콜레스테롤수치가감소되지않는것이보다긴수명을유지할수있는원인으로생각된다. 하지만아직까지 HDL 콜레스테롤과수명의상관관계에대해서는직접적인인과관계가검증된단계가아니며, 추후 HDL 콜레스테롤수치를높여줄수있는약제를임상에서사용할수있게되면보다확실하게규명될수있을것으로생각된다

5 Kwang-il Kim: Dyslipidemia in Older Adults and Management of Dyslipidemia in Older Patients 최근에는노인환자에서흔한문제인보행장애가스타틴을사용하는그룹에서보다더빈번하게발생하고, 이러한부작용이노인의전반적인일상생활수행능력을감퇴시킬수있다는우려가제시되고있다. 17 따라서이상지질혈증이동반되어있거나, 심혈관질환의고위험군인노인환자에서일차예방목적으로스타틴을사용하는것에대한근거는있으나, 스타틴의사용에따른비용- 대비효과및장기간사용하였을때안전성에대해서는아직까지계속적으로논란이제기되고있으며, 젊은성인에서는문제되지않는사소한이상반응의경우에도노인환자의삶의질과건강수준에는영향을미칠수있다는점을고려해야할것으로생각된다. 결론 연령이증가함에따라혈중콜레스테롤수치는변화하며, 이는콜레스테롤대사변화및동반질환, 영양상태등여러가지원인에의해나타나는현상으로생각된다. 하지만노인에서도이상지질혈증은심뇌혈관질환의중요한위험인자이며, 스타틴등의약제를사용하여치료하는것은비록젊은성인에비해상대적이득은적다고하여도, 절대적인이득은비슷하거나오히려더클수있다는점을주목할필요가있다. 하지만, 젊은성인에서는크게문제되지않는근골격계이상반응이노인환자에서는임상적으로의의가있을수도있기때문에보다많은노인환자를대상으로한임상연구가필요하겠다. 참고문헌 1.
