Epidemiological analysis of dyslipidemia in adults of three ethnicities in Xinjiang, China

Abstract: ABSTRACT. This study investigated the prevalence and distribution of dyslipidemia in adults of Uygur, Kazak, and Han ethnicity in Xinjiang, China. A questionnaire including general data, physical examination (blood pressure, body height, and body weight) and blood lipid [total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] was administered to 11,506 adults in Xinjiang, China from 2009 to 2010 using a stratified sampling method… Show more

“…Second, urban participants had the highest prevalence of dyslipidemia compared with farmer and nomads groups, and this trend did not change following an increased age. Unlike some other studies showing that the prevalence of dyslipidemia in adult men changed with age like a "∩" shape [23][24][25], our results showed that young men possessed the highest prevalence of dyslipidemia and decreased significantly thereafter. For urban men, for example, the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 59.1% at age 30-44 years, 52.2% at age 45-59 years, and 33.3% at age ≥ 60 years.…”

“…With increasing age and reduced social interaction, awareness to protect one's health increases, leading to the reduction of dyslipidemia risk. For women, our results revealed a similar trend with other studies [23][24][25]. The prevalence of dyslipidemia in women initially decreased and subsequently increased, this trend might be closely related to changes in hormone levels [26].…”

“…Dyslipidemia is associated with serious medical conditions such as coronary artery disease (CAD), hypertension, and stroke (Yin et al, 2011). Pilot data showed that dyslipidemia prevalence was 31.8% in the Kazak nationality, which was higher than that in the Uygur nationality (42.4%) (Guo et al, 2014). The prevalence of disease in Kazaks was significantly higher than in adults (> 18 years old) in eleven cities and provinces in China (18.6%) (Zhao et al, 2005).…”

“…Dyslipidemia has become one of the most serious public health problems in the world because of its high prevalence [ 1 , 2 ] and a causal relationship of conditions such as coronary artery disease (CAD) [ 3 ], obesity and metabolic syndrome [ 4 ]. Low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) as one of the important phenotype of dyslipidemia and it shows higher prevalence than other three kinds of components in dyslipidemia [ 5 , 6 ]. Low HDL-C damage to health is mainly concentrated in the cardiovascular system.…”
