[Diabetes and dyslipidemia status among adult residents in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in 2015].

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the prevalence, awareness, and control rates of diabetes and dyslipidemia among adult residents in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in 2015.

Methods: Based on data from the 2015 China Chronic Disease and Nutrition Surveillance, adults aged 18 years and older in Xinjiang with complete demographic information and data related to diabetes and blood lipids were selected as 4666 study subjects.

Results: In 2015, the prevalence of diabetes among adults aged ≥18 years in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was 7.1%. The prevalence was significantly higher in men(8.0%) than in women(6.2%), and higher in urban(9.0%) than in rural(5.3%) areas. By age group, the prevalence was highest in adults aged ≥60 years(13.7%), followed by those aged 45-59 years(8.9%) and 18-44 years(2.4%)(all P<0.05). The prevalence of dyslipidemia was 46.6%, with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) being the most prevalent subtype(34.0%). The prevalence rates of dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL-C were significantly higher in males than in females(P<0.05). The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia was higher in urban(17.0%) than in rural areas(12.4%), while the prevalence of low HDL-C was higher in rural(35.7%) than in urban areas(31.9%)(P<0.05). The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and high LDL-C was higher in older adults, whereas that of low HDL-C was higher in younger adults(P<0.05). In this study, the awareness rates for diabetes and dyslipidemia were 52.9% and 18.1%, respectively. The treatment rates among patients with diabetes and dyslipidemia were 46.2% and 11.0%, respectively. Awareness and treatment rates for dyslipidemia were higher in adult females than in males(P<0.05). Urban residents had higher awareness rates for dyslipidemia and higher treatment rates for both diabetes and dyslipidemia than rural residents(P<0.05). Awareness and treatment rates for both diabetes and dyslipidemia showed increasing trends with age(P<0.05).

Conclusion: The prevalence of diabetes in Xinjiang is slightly lower than the national average, but dyslipidemia is prominent, particularly low HDL-C, with a noticeable trend of younger onset.
