摘要
To the Editor:Patients with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases(CVD),relative to people without diabetes.Patients with diabetes always exhibit lipid abnormalities.Rapid economic development and accelerated urbanization have also led to lifestyle changes that may have an influence on the lipid parameters of Chinese patients with diabetes.Given the significant differences in socioeconomic status in China,geographical variations were also observed in the prevalence,awareness,treatment,and control of dyslipidemia among individuals who were≥45 years old in the general Chinese population.[1]There is a lack of large-scale studies regarding time trends and geographical variations in lipid concentrations and lipid control among Chinese adults with type 2 diabetes.Therefore,we conducted a study on time trends and geographical variations in lipid concentrations and lipid control in this population using the China National HbA1c Surveillance System(CNHSS)database of adult Chinese outpatients with type 2 diabetes during 2009 to 2013.The Ethics Committee of the Chinese People Liberation Army General Hospital approved the study protocol.Informed consent was obtained from all the patients before they were interviewed and data collected.
