Epidemiology of dyslipidemia and associated cardiovascular risk factors in northeast China: A cross-sectional study

Sex-specific prediction value of common carotid artery diameter for stroke risk in a hypertensive population: a cross-sectional study

“…For data collection, the following related risk factors were defined: diabetes [fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥7.0 mmol/L or glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ≥6.5% and/or selfreported diagnosis as previously determined by a physician], dyslipidemia [serum total cholesterol level ≥6.22 mmol/L, or serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level ≥4.14 mmol/L, or serum triglyceride level ≥2.27 mmol/L, or serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level <1.04 mmol/L, or self-reported use of lipidregulating medications], lack of exercise (no moderateintensity exercise or less than the equivalent to walking for ≥30 minutes, ≥3 times per week), current smoking habit (≥1 cigarette/day for at least 6 months), and excess weight or obesity [body mass index (BMI) ≥24 kg/m 2 ], all of which have been consistently described in previous studies (15,16).…”

“…The sex-specific association between CCA diameter and stroke risk in the present study could be partially explained by different risk profiles for atherosclerosis and stroke in men and women. According to our previous studies, men in northeast China were more likely to have multiple cardiovascular risk factors, such as a current smoking habit, excess weight, or obesity (12,15,30). The interaction between risk factors might have a complicated effect on the atherosclerotic process.…”

Factors Determining the Three-Year Dynamics of Lipid Metabolism Indicators in Residents of a Large Industrial Region of Siberia

“…Например, среди пациентов китайской когорты с наличием дислипидемий только 5,9 % принимали препараты для лечения данного состояния. У значительной доли участников с дислипидемиями были и другие сопутствующие факторы риска: 63,6% имели АГ, 67,2% -избыточный вес или ожирение, 25,2% -сахарный диабет, 25,2% употребляли алкоголь, а 22,4% -табак [5]. По данным исследователей из ОАЭ, пол, возраст, курение, абдоминальное ожирение и сахарный диабет также были важными предикторами различных типов дислипидемии [15].…”

“…Соответственно, регулярный скрининг липидного профиля и своевременная коррекция дислипидемий может сократить прогрессирование распространенности атеросклероза и его проявлений среди населения [4]. В связи с этим повышение осведомленности о факторах риска развития данных состояний, их методах лечения и контроля может значительно снизить заболеваемость ССЗ [5].…”

Epidemiología y carga de morbilidad y mortalidad en dislipidemias y aterosclerosis

“…3 The proportions of elevated LDL-c and decreased concentrations of the cholesterol linked to high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c), are higher in urban than in rural areas. 4 In Canada, the prevalence of dyslipidemia is 45% in persons aged 18 to 79 years, 57% of respondents of a national survey were not aware of their condition, and only 19% of persons with dyslipidemias had their lipid concentrations, below the recommended levels. Of those taking medications, only 41% reached the recommended Canadian target of LDL-c < 77 mg/dL or an Apo B concentration < 0.8 g/L.…”
