Abstract

Objective

To investigate the factors associated with hypercholesterolemia in older adults residing in a small municipality in northeastern Brazil.

Methods

This is a population-based cross-sectional epidemiological study conducted with 232 older adults (women: 58.60%; men: 41.40%) in Aiquara, Bahia, Brazil. Independent variables included socioeconomic, behavioral, and health-related factors. The outcome was self-reported hypercholesterolemia (yes or no). Poisson regression with a robust estimator was used to calculate Prevalence Ratios (PR) and their respective 95% Confidence Intervals (CI) in the inferential analysis. Gross models were initially developed, followed by a hierarchical multiple explanatory model (Level 1: socioeconomic variables; Level 2: behavioral aspects; Level 3: health conditions).

Results

The observed prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was 34.50% (men: 21.90%; women: 43.40%). Additionally, a higher probability of hypercholesterolemia was observed in women (PR: 1.94; 95% CI: 1.27–2.97); participants with high sedentary behavior (PR: 1.47; 95% CI: 1.03–2.09); those with abdominal obesity (PR: 1.65; 95% CI: 1.06–2.57); and those with diabetes mellitus (PR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.04–2.29).

Conclusion

The main results showed that female sex, high sedentary behavior, abdominal obesity, and diabetes mellitus were positively associated with hypercholesterolemia in the older population of the study.

与老年人高胆固醇血症相关的因素：横断面调查。

目的：调查巴西东北部一个小城市老年人高胆固醇血症的相关因素。方法：这是一项基于人群的横断面流行病学研究，对232名老年人(女性：58.60%；男性：41.40%)，来自巴西巴伊亚州的Aiquara。独立变量包括社会经济、行为和健康相关因素。结果是自我报告的高胆固醇血症（是或否）。在推理分析中，使用稳健估计的泊松回归计算患病率比（PR）及其各自的95%置信区间（CI）。首先开发了Gross模型，然后是分层多重解释模型(第一级：社会经济变量；第二层：行为方面；第3级：健康状况)。结果：观察到的高胆固醇血症患病率为34.50%(男性：21.90%；女性:43.40%)。此外，在女性中观察到高胆固醇血症的可能性更高(PR: 1.94；95% ci: 1.27-2.97)；久坐行为高的参与者(PR: 1.47；95% ci: 1.03-2.09)；腹部肥胖组(PR: 1.65；95% ci: 1.06-2.57)；糖尿病患者(PR: 1.54；95% ci: 1.04-2.29)。结论：主要结果显示，女性、久坐行为、腹部肥胖、糖尿病与研究对象中老年人群的高胆固醇血症呈正相关。
