Prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of dyslipidemia among adults in Northwestern China: the cardiovascular risk survey

Abstract

AimThe aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of dyslipidemia in Xinjiang, China.MethodStratified sampling method was used to select a representative sample of the general population including Chinese Han, Uygur, and Kazak in this geographic area. Seven cities were chosen. Based on the government records of registered residences, one participant was randomly selected from each household. The eligibility criterion for the study was ≥ 35 years of age.ResultsA total of 14,618 participants (5,757 Han, 4,767 Uygur, and 4,094 Kazak), were randomly selected from 26 villages in 7 cities. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 52.72% in the all participants. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was higher in Han than that in the other two ethnic (58.58% in Han, 48.27% in Uygur, and 49.60% in Kazak, P < 0.000). The prevalence of dyslipidemia was higher in men than that in women (56.4% vs. 49.3%, P < 0.000). Among the participants with dyslipidemia, the proportion of those who aware, treat, control of dyslipidemia were 53.67%, 22.51%, 17.09% in Han, 42.19%, 27.78%, 16.20% in Uygur, 37.02%, 21.11%, 17.77% in Kazak.ConclusionDyslipidemia is highly prevalent in Xinjiang. The proportion of participants with dyslipidemia who were aware, treated, and controlled is unacceptably low. These results underscore the urgent need to develop national strategies to improve the prevention, detection, and treatment of dyslipidemia in Xinjiang.

Correlation Between Serum TSH Levels Within Normal Range and Serum Lipid Profile

“…The prevalence of high TC, high TG, low HDL-C, and high LDL-C was 5.11, 16.00, 19.27, and 4.76 %, respectively [15]. The prevalence of dyslipidemia among adults in northwest China was 52.72 % [16]. Similar to these results, the present study showed that the total prevalence of dyslipidemia in men was significantly higher than that in women (44.5 vs. 31.6 %), while the prevalence of high TG and low HDL-C was significantly higher than that in women.…”

Factors associated with atherogenic dyslipidemia among hypertensive patients at southern Ethiopia

“…Besides, the majority of hypertensive patients (90.8%) had at least one dyslipidemia and the mixed type of dyslipidemia (greater than or equal to two lipid profile derangements) was 61.8%. Moreover, female gender was associated with raised levels of TC, LDL-c and reduced HDL-c, while hyperuricemia was associated with abnormal level of TC, TGs, HDL-c and TC/HDL-c. Studies reported that the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 52.7% and 68.7% (Luo et al, 2014;Yu et al, 2015), respectively. In addition, Framingham Heart Study indicated that more than 80% of hypertensive patients had at least one additional cardiovascular disease risk factor and mainly these risk factors were atherogenic in nature.…”

Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Towards Dyslipidemia Among Patients Attending Primary Health Care Centers, Abha City, Saudi Arabia.

“…5 Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease such as coronary heart disease and stroke. [16][17][18] Increasing the awareness and knowledge of patients regarding dyslipidemia risk factors and management has a positive impact on cardiovascular disease prevention. 19 In the current study, most of the participants (77.3%) had poor knowledge regarding dyslipidemia and 47.4% had negative attitude.…”
