[Prevalence of dyslipidemia and borderline dyslipidemia in aging residents from Beijing communities].

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence characters of dyslipidemia and borderline dyslipidemia in aging residents from Beijing communities and to evaluate the relative risk of cardiovascular risk factor (CRF) to dyslipidemia. METHODS: The samples were selected by random cluster multistage method. Serum lipid level and CRF were determined through questionnaire, physical examination and biochemical detection for 1974 subjects who was 65 and over 65 years old in Beijing communities. RESULTS: Age- and sex-adjusted standardized incidence of dyslipidemia and borderline dyslipidemia in ≥ 65 yrs was 35.11% (693/1974) and 28.57% (564/1974) respectively, optimal lipid was 36.32% (717/1974).Vs optimal status 3 borderline factors(BF) , 1 major CRF, 2 CRFs, and 3 CRFs to have dyslipidemia, the relative risks are OR = 1.537, 95%CI 0.597-3.959, OR = 1.898, 95%CI 0.993-3.628, OR = 2.441, 95%CI 1.268-4.698, and OR = 4.256, 95%CI 2.104-8.608 respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of major CRFs of ≥ 65 yrs resident from Beijing communities are higher than the average level of China. The risk is higher while the number of borderline and major CRFs much more.
