Serum lipid levels and the prevalence of hyperlipidemia in theJing Zu population

Objectives To detect the serum lipid levels and the prevalence of hyperlipidemia in the Jing Zu population. Methods A total of 422 subjects of Jing Zu were studied by a stratified randomized sampling.Serum lipid levels were measured.The data were compared with those in 425 subjects of Han Chinese from the same area.Results triglyceride (TG)were lower in Jing Zu than in Han Chinese [(5.17±0.98) mmol/L vs.(5.37±1.11)mmol/L vs.(1.57±1.80) mmol/L,P【0.05;respectively].There were no significant differences in the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) between the two ethnic groups(P】0.05).The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia and hyperlipidemia was also lower in Jing Zu than in Han Chinese(10.66%vs.15.76%, P【0.05 and 49.76%TG and HDL-C and the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia in both ethnic groups were higher in hypertensives than in normotensives. Conclusions The differences in the serum lipid levels and the prevalence of hyperlipidemia between the Jing Zu and Han populations might result from different dietary habit,life style,as well as genetic factors vs.56.94%,P【0.05;respectively). There was no significant difference in the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia between the two ethnic groups.
