ABSTRACT
Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)
is recognised as an important public health problem in Malaysia.
Hyperlipidaemia is one of the main risk factors related to CHD. The
mainstay of treatment is diet therapy which should be maintained
even if drug treatment is indicated. Since dietitians are the
primary providers of dietary treatment to hyperlipidaemic patients,
this retrospective study attempts to report the dietary approaches
and methodologies adopted by Malaysian dietitians in managing their
patients. A postal questionnaire covering various aspects of dietary
management of hyperlipidaemia were sent to 47 dietitians practicing
in private and government hospitals. A response rate of 53 % was
elicited. The survey found that there was a disparity amongst the
respondents in the approach to the dietary management of
hyperlipidaemia in Malaysia. This was largely due to the absence of
a standardised dietary protocol for general lipid lowering in
patients with hyperlipidaemia.
