Objective To analyze the prevalence and risk factors of dyslipidemia among residents aged 60 years and above in two urban districts of Shenyang city, Liaoning province.
Methods Totally 3 810 permanent residents aged 60 years and above were recruited with random cluster sampling at two urban districts of Shenyang city. Face-to-face questionnaire interview, physical examination and laboratory tests were carried out among the participants during July – December 2021. Multivariate logistic regression model was adopted in analyses on risk factors of dyslipidemia.
Results The detection rate of dyslipidemia was 40.4% among 3 582 eligible participants (94.0% of all the respondents) and the detection rate was significantly higher in the female participants than that in the male residents (44.0% vs. 34.9%, χ2 = 29.681; P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the participants with following characteristics were more likely to have dyslipidemia: female gender (odds ratio OR = 1.54, 95% confidence interval 95% CI: 1.34 − 1.78), with the education of high school and above (OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.03 − 2.77), with history of diseases including hypertension (OR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.06 − 1.40), obesity (OR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.01 − 1.54) and diabetes (OR = 1.59, 95% CI: 1.36 − 1.86).
Conclusion The prevalence of dyslipidemia is high among the elderly residents in two urban districts of Shenyang city and special attention should be paid to women, people with high education, and patients with hypertension, diabetes and obesity for intervention on dyslipidemia in the population.
