Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and overweight/obesity of residents from different economic communities.Method One thousand six hundred and twenty-three residents from three communities with different economic condition in Huadu District,Guangzhou from June to July 2012 participated in the survey by questionnaire and health examination.Results The total prevalence rate in overweight/obesity was 29.4%and that of dyslipidemia 45.4%. The difference of prevalence rate of dyslipidemia among the three economic communities was not statistically significant(P>0.05). But the prevalence of overweight/obesity was statistically significantly different among them(P<0.05). The prevalence rate of overweight/obesity in Huadong town with a relatively poorer economy was lower than that of Tianmei town with a relatively better economy(P<0.017). The prevalence rate of overweight/obesity of male among the three communities had no significant differences(P>0.05),whereas the differences in the females were statistically significant(P<0.05),and the prevalence rate of Huadong town was lower than that of Tianmei town&Xinhua town. The differences in the prevalence of overweight/obesity at different ages from all economic communities showed statistical significance(all P<0.05).The residents aged 45~65 accounted for a large proportion of overweight/obesity.Conclusions Residents in the area have a high prevalence of overweight/obesity and dyslipidemia. The prevalence rates of overweight/obesity from the villages with better economic conditions are higher than that from the villages with poorer economic conditions. Residents aged 45-65 from all the three communities have a relatively high occurrence of overweight/obesity and dyslipidemia.
