Abstract:

Objective To investigate the level of serum lipids and the prevalence rate of abnormal serum lipids (ASLs) in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County’residents in Gansu Province. Methods Serum lipids of 479 Han and Tibetan residents aged from 18 to 74 were collected by cluster random sampling. The participants were assigned into five age groups: 18-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64 and over 65 years old groups. The prevalence rate of ASLs was calculated accordance with diagnostic criteria for ASLs in China’s adult dyslipdemia prvention guide in 2007. Results The prevalence rate of ASLs of the residents in this county was 42.17%. High triglyceride(TG)and low high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C)were the main types. The prevalence rate of ASLs was the highest in 45-54 years old group. The high total cholesterol (TC), high TG and high Low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) were all highest in 45-54 years old group for males and females. The prevalence rate of ASLs decreased in males and increased in females with ages. The prevalence rate of all types of ASLs was higher in females than in males beyond 45 years old. There was no difference of the prevalence rate of ASLs and abnormal rate of four measures of blood lipids between Han and Tibetan residents. Conclusion The prevalence rate of ASLs is relatively high in Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County ′residents in Gansu Province,and there are more variations of incidence and categories of ASLs between genders.
