Abstract:
ObjectivesTo understand the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia （HHcy） in the Tibetan population in Northwest Xizang， and its association with lipids and blood uric acid， and to explore the prevention and treatment strategies for chronic diseases such as HHcy in Northwest Xizang. MethodsIn this survey， questionnaires， physical examinations， and biochemical tests were conducted on 3432 Tibetan residents aged 18 years and older who had resided in Northwest Xizang （Ngari Prefecture， Nagqu City） for more than 6 months using a multistage stratified whole cluster random sampling method. ResultsThe prevalence of HHcy among Tibetan residents in Northwest Xizang was 75.7%， much higher than that of the average population in China （37.2%）. Blood uric acid、high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were risk factors for HHcy. ConclusionThe prevalence of HHcy is higher in the Tibetan population in northwest Xizang. Therefore， the local governments should urge people to establish a healthy lifestyle and enhance early intervention for HHcy by improving diet and lifestyle， thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular， cerebrovascular and other related diseases.
