Prevalence rate of dyslipidemia,hyperglycemia,hypertension and metabolic syndrome in a large occupational population in Beijing / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia,hyperglycemia,hypertension and metabolic syndrome(MS)and compare the prevalence rate of dysilipidemia obtained in this study with the previous study during 1984--1986.Methods A total of 16 344 adults in Beijing who attended for the medical examinations were recruited in the study.Subjects were asked to complete questionnaires regarding personal health,lifestyle and family health history.The physical examination emphasized measurement of height,weight and blood pressure.Blood samples were collected after an overnight fast and subjected to serum glucose,TC,HDL-C,LDL-C and TG measurements.MS was diagnosed according to Diabetes Society of Chinese Medical Association(CDS)criteria.Results Dyslipidemia occurred in 36.9%(6 034)of subjects.948 hyperglycaemia cases were found.The prevalence rate of high blood glucose was 5.8%. Hypertension occurred in 17.1% of subjects.Obesity/Overweight occurred in 5 252 subjects with the prevalence rate of 32.1%.On the basis of the diagnostic criteria for MS in China.MS occurred in 12.2% of subjects(14.2% for males and 10.0% for females).In both genders,the rate increased along with the increment of age.65.5% participants had at least one of the metabolic disorders.The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia,hypertriglyceridemia,and abnormally low HDL-C were higher than previous analysis during 1984-1986 in all age groups.Conclusions The prevalence of MS in this large occupational population in Beijing was quite high. The prevalence of hypeflipemia had increased considerably over the past 20 years.Balanced nutrition and reasonable consumption should be undertaken to modify these situations.
