Abnormal lipid levels are important etiological factors associated with the development of @entity731 and with increased @entity65 and mortality. Lipid levels are also influenced by lifestyle and behavioral factors, which suggests that personality traits might be related to abnormal lipid profiles. Studies on personality traits and lipid levels are relatively scarce in Korea. Therefore, the objective of this study was to examine the association between lipid levels and personality traits in young Korean @entity1 . A total of 1,701 young Korean @entity1 [mean age =24.9  4.6 years (range 17-39)] who volunteered for personality trait evaluation were recruited for this study. Lipid levels, including total @entity165 , high density lipoprotein (HDL) @entity165 , and @entity412 , were measured in all subjects after an overnight fast, and a low density lipoprotein (LDL) @entity165 level was calculated. The study population was divided into abnormal and normal lipid level groups according to the clinical criteria. Personality traits were measured using the Revised NEO Personality Inventory for the Five-Factor Model of personality. High @entity663 was associated with low HDL @entity165 levels. Low extraversion and @entity1538 were associated with high levels of @entity412 . At the facet level, the association between personality and lipid levels were generally consistent. Angry hostility, self-consciousness, vulnerability to stress, activity, and straightforwardness were associated with HDL @entity165 levels. Activity, positive emotion, aesthetics, actions, and deliberation were associated with @entity412 . When applying clinical criteria, conscientiousness was less likely to have abnormal total @entity165 levels. Our results showed that the @entity1 with the low HDL @entity165 levels are like to be more neurotic and the @entity1602 @entity1 are prone to lower extraversion and @entity1538 in Korea. Understanding the associations between blood lipid levels and personality traits may have a beneficial effect for the managing of @entity2299 .
