Prevalence of dyslipidemia and associated risk factors among students in Shihezi

Objective To explore the prevalence of dyslipidemia and associated risk factors among students in Shihezi.Methods A total of 1 764 students were selected from 12 schools stratified through cluster random sampling.Epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of dyslipidemia were described through questionnaire survey,as well as physical examination and laboratory examination.Results The prevalence rates of dyslipidemia of students in Shihezi was 13.04%;The prevalence of high triglyceride,high total cholesterol,high low density lipoprotein cholesterol and low high density lipoprotein cholesterol were 5.67%,8.73%,5.78% and 10.32%,respectively.The prevalence of dyslipidemia in male was higher than that in female(14.29% vs 11.75,P=0.014).Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR =1.204,95%CI=1.011-1.433,P =0.037),obesity (OR=1.723,95%CI=1.205-2.465,P=0.003) and high-fat diet (OR=1.535,95%CI =1.073-2.196,P=0.019) were risk factors of dyslipidemia.Conclusion The most common forms of hyperlipidemia among students in Shihezi is low HDL-C,with adolescents who are older,obese and having high-fat diet had the highest risks of dyslipidemia.
