Objective: To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia among adults in Moyu County, Hotan Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, so as to provide insights into the management of dyslipidemia. Methods: The physical examination data of permanent residents at ages of 18 years and older were collected from Moyu County from 2018 to 2019, including demographic features, height, body weight, blood pressure and blood biochemical parameter measurements. The epidemiological characteristics of dyslipidemia were analyzed among residents. Results: Totally 166 142 adults were investigated, with a mean age of (41.08±15.72) years. There were 77 744 men (46.76%), 34 728 obese adults (20.90%), 5 776 adults with diabetes (3.48%) and 26 294 adults with hypertension (15.83%). The levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were (1.38±0.98), (4.13±1.19), (1.31±0.41) and (2.25±0.77) mmol/L, respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 29.72%, and the detection rates of high TG, high TC, low-HDL-C and high LDL-C were 9.73%, 4.59%, 19.65% and 1.99%, respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was higher in men than in women (33.97% vs. 25.98%; χ2=1 264.729, P<0.001), and the prevalence increased with age (χ2=539.382, P<0.001) and body mass index (χ2=3 601.833, P<0.001). The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 35.48% among patients with hypertension (χ2=497.251, P<0.001) and 46.07% among patients with diabetes (χ2=766.142, P<0.001). There were 9 059 adults with two and more abnormal blood lipid indexes (18.35%), and the detection rates of two and more abnormal blood lipid indexes were 26.50%, 24.14% and 33.15% among patients with obesity, hypertension and diabetes, respectively. Conclusions The prevalence of dyslipidemia among adults in Moyu County is lower than the national level, and low-HDL cholesterolemia is the most common type of dyslipidemia. The prevalence of dyslipidemia is high among patients with obesity, hypertension and diabetes mellitus, in whom abnormality of multiple blood lipid indexes is measured.
