Abstract:
Objective To assess the prevalence of dyslipidemia among children and adolescents aged 6-18 years in Yinchuan.Methods A stratified,random cluster sampling was used to select a target samples (1 939 cases) of children from elementary schools,middle schools and high schools in different age groups,with medium economic status.The levels of serum total cholesterol (TC),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),and triglycerides (TG) were measured.Results The prevalence of total dyslipidemia was 15.5 ％ (300/1 939 cases).The prevalence of high TG,high TC,high LDL-C,low HDL-C,high non-HDL-C and hyperlipemia were 5.8％ (113/1 939 cases),0.8％ (18/1 939 cases),1.1％ (21/1 939 cases),10.6％ (205/1 939 cases),0.9％ (18/1 939 cases) and 6.4％ (124/1 939 cases),respectively.Boys were more likely to have dyslipidemia than girls (17.7％ vs.13.3％) and a low HDL-C level (13.1％ vs.8.2％),and the differences between 2 groups were statistically significant (x2 =7.178,P =0.007;x2 =12.337,P ＜ 0.001).Individuals aged 16-18 years had the highest prevalence of total dyslipidemia [19.1％ (89/466 cases)] than other age groups,and the difference was statistically significant(x2 =11.393,P ＜ 0.01).Prevalence of dyslipidemia among the obese,the overweight and the normal weight individuals were 39.7％ (69/174 cases),20.8％ (60/289 cases) and 11.6％ (171/1 469 cases),respectively.Moreover,prevalence of dyslipidemia increased significantly with gravity of obesity,and the difference was statistically significant(x2 =100.180,P ＜ 0.01).Individuals with abdominal obesity had higher prevalence rates of dyslipidemia than that of the non-abdominal obese individuals [31.5％ (92/292 cases) vs.12.6％ (207/1 064 cases)],and the difference was statistically significant (x2 =67.578,P ＜ 0.01).Approximately 39.7％ (69/174 cases) and 31.5 ％ (92/292 cases) obese individuals and abdominal obesity were candidates for taking intervention measures including nutritional counseling,school-based lifestyle as well as community fitness programs.Conclusions Screening and prevention should be regarded for dyslipidemia among children and adolescents,especially for boys and teenagers in Yinchuan.
