Abstract:
Objective: To assess the association and intensity of baseline dyslipidemia with the incidence of carotid plaque in a researchers group in China. Methods: A total of 716 researchers were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. Dyslipidemia was assessed in 2010. Follow-up study on carotid plaque was conducted in 2017. Results: Over 8 years' follow-up, 289 carotid plaque patients were identified among 716 individuals who did not have carotid plaque at baseline survey, with cumulative incidence of 40.36%. After adjustment of age, gender, BMI, waist circumference, FPG, SBP, DBP, ALT and uric acid, compared with non-dyslipidemia group, HR of carotid plaque for such populations with ≥3 types of dyslipidemia was 1.681 (95%CI: 1.090--2.593). Conclusions: Dyslipidemia might be associated with higher risk of carotid plaque, and population with ≥3 types of dyslipidemia had higher risk for carotid plaque. Prevention of dyslipidemia or reduction of types of dyslipidemia might be one of the effective precautions for prevention of carotid plaque.
