Abstract:ObjectiveTo analyze the risk factors associated with abnormal blood lipids among a community-dwelling population in Shenzhen City so as to provide a basis for developing prevention and control strategies for patients with chronic diseases. Methods Questionnaire survey, physical examination and laboratory test were conducted among 832 residents with periodic physical examination in the Nanyou Community Health Service Center, Nanshan District, Shenzhen City form April to September, 2014. And the data were statistically analyzed by χ2 test, t test, non-parametric test and multivariate Logistic regression method. Results Univariate analysis showed that the age groups of 45-64 years ran a higher risk for dyslipidemia as compared with other age groups, the proportion of dyslipidemia of patients with hypertension and diabetes was higher than that of population without hypertension and diabetes (χ2=6.23, P=0.0126; χ2=3.87, P=0.0490), and the group with higher educational background had a higher risk for dyslipidemia as compared with the group with lower educational background (χ2=7.29, P=0.0262). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the factors affecting blood lipid abnormality were educational background, hypertension and diabetes. The levels of blood lipid indexes were significantly different between the group with abnormal blood lipids and the group with normal blood lipids. Conclusions The incidence of hyperlipidemia in urban community patients with chronic diseases in Shenzhen City is high. Health departments should enhance the propaganda about the harmfulness of hyperlipidemia, intensify the intervention and control the current status of hyperlipidemia so as to reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events.
