Factors associated with dyslipidemia and its prevalence among Awash wine factory employees, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study

Abstract

Background Dyslipidemia is a highly prevalent and modifiable risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Though the problem is significant in Ethiopia, available data in this regard is very poor among alcoholic beverage industrial workers. This study aimed to assess factors associated with dyslipidemia and its prevalence among Awash wine factory employees in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 335 randomly selected employees of Awash wine factory, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia from January to February 2021. Data was collected by a face-to-face interview technique using the WHO STEPwise approach. Data were entered and analyzed using Epi Info 7 and SPSS version 26, respectively. Both bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify factors associated with dyslipidemia. All statistical tests were declared significant at p-value < 0.05. Results The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia was 67.8% (95% CI 62.5–72.7%). Elevated total cholesterol, elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein, and elevated low-density lipoprotein was found in 25.4%, 33.4%, 50.7%, and 21.5% of participants, respectively. Dyslipidemia was significantly associated with age group 30–39 years (AOR = 2.51; 95% CI 1.16–5.44, p = 0.019), ≥ 40 years (AOR = 6.45; 95% CI 2.01–20.71, p = 0.002), current alcohol consumption (AOR = 3.37; 95% CI 1.70–6.66, p < 0.001), eating vegetables < 2 days per week (AOR = 2.89; 95% CI 1.54–5.43, p = 0.001), sitting duration of > 4 h per day (AOR = 1.96; 95% CI 1.03–3.74, p = 0.041), and raised waist circumference (AOR = 4.56; 95% CI 2.07–10.08, p < 0.001). Conclusions High prevalence of dyslipidemia was found among Awash wine factory employees in Addis Ababa. Periodic screening of high-risk groups along with effective health promotion and education which encourages a healthy lifestyle is essential.

Dyslipidemia in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes in a Rural Community in Ganadougou, Mali: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…A meta-analysis has shown a link between plant diets and lipid profiles [36]. Angassa et al (2022) noted vegetable intake as a significant contributing factor for dyslipidemia in Ethiopia [6]. Longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether vegetable intake patterns are changing in Africa.…”

“…Dyslipidemia is typically characterized according to the imbalance of lipids such as total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) [5]. Other risk factors associated with dyslipidemia include increased age, alcohol consumption, decreased vegetable consumption, low physical activity, and high waist circumference [6]. T2D is known to increase circulating free fatty acids and stimulate very low-density lipoprotein production [7].…”

Epidemiology and Prevalence of Dyslipidemia Among Adult Population of Tehran: The Tehran Cohort Study

“… 2 - 4 The global burden of dyslipidemia showed an increasing trend due to the aging population, inadequate physical activity, behavioral risk factors, and obesity, particularly in developing countries. 1 , 5 In 2015, Iran was the third most affected country in the Eastern-Mediterranean region with 54.1% prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and recorded 46% of CVD deaths according to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates. 6 …”
