Objective To investigate the prevalence of dyslipidemia and borderline dyslipidemia and other coronary heart disease(CHD)risk factors in residents from Beijing communities.Methods Resident samples were selected brv random cluster multistage method.Serum hpid level and CHD factors were obtained through questionnaire,physical examination and biocbemical analysis during June 2007 to August 2007 from 10 054 residents.Results Age-and sex-adjusted standardized prevalence of hypercholesterolemia,high low-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia,low high-density lipoprotein cholesterolemia,and triglyceridemia were 9.3%,2.56%,18.79%and 16.84%,respectively.Incidence of borderline hypercholesterolemia was 23.96%.Incidence of dyslipidemia and borderline dyslipidemia was 31.23%and 23.30%respectively,71.17%residents have at least 1 CHD major risk factor and 20.23%residents were in borderline CHD risks.Prevalence of hypertension,diabetes,smoking and obese was interval)in residents having 1 borderline CHD risk factor(RF),2 RF,and 3 RF versus none RF was 1.668,(95%CI:1.319-2.110),2.537(95%CI:1.989-3.235),and 3.203(95%CI:2.007-5.114).Condusions The prevalence of dyslipidemia of residents from Beijing communities is higher the average level of China(25.1%).Over 1 out of 5 residents were in increased risk for borderline dyslipidemia or CHD risks.Intensive control of dvslipidemia and CHD risk factors aro warranted in Beijing residents.
