Abstract:
Objective To observe the incidence and awareness of dyslipidemia in newly diagnosed elderly type 2 diabetic patients,and to determine the efficacy and safety of simvastatin and Xuezhikang in the treatment of dyslipidemia.Methods Totally 255 newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic patients aged 60 to 75 years in CDCPS research were included and the incidence of dyslipidemia were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into 3 groups:the group 1 was given simvastatin (20 mg/d); the group 2 was given Xuezhikang (0.6～ 1.2 g/d); the group 3 was given no lipid-lowering drugs.All the three groups were given lifestyle intervention and blood pressure and blood sugar control.All patients were followed up monthly and TG,TC,LDL-C,BUN,ALT and creatinine were examined at 7th,14th,and 20th months.Results The incidence of dyslipidemia and the rate of awareness in the study cohort was 62％ and 55.7％.Hypertriglyceridemia was the most common type of dyslipidemia (29％).Among 88 patients with dyslipidemia,25 (28.4％) patients had been treated with lipid-lowering drugs before our study,in whom,8(32％) patients had normal serum lipid levels and only 3 (12％)patients reached to the control standards.20 months after the treatment,the decrement scales of TG,TC and LDL-C were 1.8％,10.5 ％ and 20 ％ respectively in group 1;5.5 ％,15.0％ and 15.7％ respectively in group 2;2.7％,8.7％ and 4.5％ respectively in group 3.The long-term lifestyle intervention and blood pressure and blood sugar control reduced serum lipid to some degree.In the patients with dyslipidemia,lipid-lowering drugs had a better effect on serum lipid reduction than did the lifestyle intervention (P=0.0047,0.0433).There was no significant difference between simvastatin and Xuezhikang.The function changes of liver and kidney had no difference before and after drug intervention (P＞0.05).Conclusions Serum lipid should be monitored and early medicine intervention should be taken in newly diagnosed elderly type 2 diabetic patients.Medicine intervention has a better effect on serum lipid reduction than lifestyle intervention,and there are no significant differences in efficacy and safety between simvastatin and Xuezhikang.
