[A cross-sectional study on the prevalence and related factors of dyslipidemia among adults in Anhui province, in 2015].

ABSTRACT

Objective: Based on the data of chronic diseases and nutrition surveillance among Chinese adults in 2015, dyslipidemia and related factors were analyzed. Methods: Multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling was used to select participants who were aged 18 and over, with questionnaire survey and related measurements conducted. Prevalence rates of dyslipidemia among participants by different characteristics and influencing factors were analyzed, using the method of complex weighting and post-weighted stratification. Results: In all, 7 404 participants were included. The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia was 30.5% among the adults. The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia were 36.5% in males and 24.4% in females (P<0.05). The prevalence rates of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high LDL-C, and low HDL-C were 3.7%, 12.2%, 5.3%, and 19.4%, respectively. Results from the multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that age (OR=1.009, 95%CI 1.000-1.018), female (OR=0.501, 95%CI 0.397-0.632), College degree or above (OR=1.728, 95%CI 1.257-2.374), alcohol consumption 3 (OR=0.711, 95%CI 0.536-0.943), central obesity (OR=1.868, 95%CI 1.547-2.257), BMI (OR=1.141, 95%CI 1.098-1.186), hypertension (OR=1.259, 95%CI 1.077-1.473) and diabetes (OR=2.025, 95%CI 1.446-2.835) were influencing factors on dyslipidemia. Conclusions: The prevalence of dyslipidemia seemed high among adults in Anhui. Risk factors should be closely monitored and under control, including those people with unhealthy lifestyles or being overweight, obesity, hypertensive and diabetic.
