Objective:
To study the prevalence and influencing factors of dyslipidemia in the elderly in Changsha.
Methods:
Multi-stage randomized cluster sampling method was used to select 3 500 persons aged 65 and over in Changsha. Levels of serum lipids were detected and questionnaire was used to investigate the related factors (such as smoking, drinking, history of chronic diseases).
Results:
The prevalence rate of dyslipidemia was 43.72%. The abnormal rate of serum triglyceride, cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein was 26.54%, 25.31% and 16.65%, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that smoking, drinking, overweight or obesity were risk factors of dyslipidemia.
Conclusion:
The incidence of dyslipidemia is high and the influencing factors are common among the elderly. Community health education will help improve the effect of prevention and control.
