The prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control of dyslipidemia in northeast China: a population-based cross-sectional survey

Abstract: BackgroundDyslipidemia is an important independent modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to explore the current prevalence, awareness, treatment and control of dyslipidemia and its associated influence factors in northeast China.MethodsIn this population-based cross-sectional study, we adopted a multi-stage, stratified sampling method to obtain a representative sample of 4052 permanent residents aged 40 years and over from different urban and rural regions in Dehui City o… Show more

“…A nationwide investigation showed that the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 34.7% among Chinese adults over age 35 years [17] , which was higher than the results of the current study. However, compared with several regional studies [18][19][20] , the prevalence of decreased HDL-C and elevated TG in our study were at higher levels. The epidemiological data showed that HDL-C levels were negatively correlated with the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) [21] , and elevated TG was commonly associated with increased CVD risk [22] .…”

“…Dyslipidemia, one of the pathophysiological characteristics in obese patients, includes high levels of plasma TC and TG, low levels of HDL, and is key in the development of CVD in obese patients (12). For example, in a large series of 26,000 overweight children, 14.1% of patients had abnormal TC levels, 15.8% of patients had abnormal LDL-C, 11.1% of patients had abnormal HDL-C and 14.3% of patients had abnormal TG levels (13).…”

“…In addition, the prevalence rate of dyslipidemia varies by region due to different climatic environments, diets, and lifestyles. In an epidemiology study, a high prevalence of dyslipidemia was found among adults in Northeast China, especially in urban areas [15]. The study results also indicated that high TG was the most prevalent type of dyslipidemia in Northeast China, followed by high TC [15].…”

“…However, the associations between other serum vitamins and lipid profiles have not been investigated. In addition, high TG levels were suggested in a previous study as the most prevalent type of dyslipidemia in Northeast China, followed by high TC levels [15]. Thus, the present study was designed to explore the associations between various serum vitamin concentrations and serum lipid profiles, including serum TC, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C levels in a healthy Northeast China population.…”
