ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate blood level of triglyceride(TG)in community residents of urban and rural Beijing.Methods A total of 10 054 community residents were recruited by cluster samphng for investigation using questionnaire,as well as physical examinations and fasting plasma TG determination for diagnosing hypertriglyceridemia,during June to August,2007.Results Median of plasma level of TG of the participants was 1.17 mmol/L,ranging(0.81-1.78)mmoVL Totally,1234 people were diagnosed as borderline hypertriglyceridemia and 15 12 as hypertriglycefidemia.with prevalence of 12.27%and 15.04%,respectively.There was no significant difference in plasma level ofTG between men andwomen[1.16(0.80-1.84)mmol/L vs.1.18(0.81-1.75)mmol/L,P0.187].Age-adjusted prevalence of borderline hypertriglyceridemia and hypertriglyeeridemia was higher in men than those in women(11.60% vs.10.90%and 20.32% vs.10.88%,respectively),and the same results were obrained in those less than 50 years old,however,reveraw outcomes were got in those more than 50 years old.Plasma level of TG,as well as prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia,were higher in those living in urban areas than those in rural areas[1.31(0.89-1.95)mmol/L vs.1.05(0.73-1.58)mmol/L].Awareness,proportion of people with hyperglycefidemia under treatment and proportion of those with TG under coutrol were 13.95%.35.92%and 38.51%,respectively.Standardized prevalence of borderline hyperglycefidemia and hyperglycefidemia were higher in those with coronary heart disease than those without it(24.79% vs.11.22%and 25.31% vs.15.35%,respectively).Conclusions Awareness,proportion of treatment and proportion of those under control for hyperglyceridemia were all lower in community residents of Beijing.Education and monitoring on hyperglyeeridemia should especially be strengthened for urban residents,women aged more than 50 years,and these with coronary heart disease.
