Study On The Relationship Between Lifestyle And Abnormality Of Blood Lipids Among The Elderly In Some Rural Areas Of JILIN Province

Dyslipidemia is the abnormality of blood lipid metabolism. The present population of elderly people over 60 years old is more than 130 million in our country and morbidity and mortality of elderly people due to cardiac and cerebral diseases have been increasing all the time in the recent decade which has become the first cause of death. The main reason for acute myocardium infarction and cerebral apoplexy is dyslipidemia which, unfortunately, remains unrealized by most people.Objective: we analyzed the status of dyslipidemia in elderly people in countryside of Jilin Province trying to find out the reasons and the relationship between living behavior pattern and dyslipidemia and to find out preventive methods and to provide with rational diet.Methods: in this study, people aged from 40 to 70 years from countryside of Jilin Province were investigated by field survey with questionnaire survey, diet survey and physical examination. 930 people were included. Statistic data was processed with SPSS13.0 software and mono-factor and multiple-factor logistic regression analysis was applied for the influence factors.Results: in the total 930 people, 517 people are diagnosed as dyslipidemia which takes of 55.6% and the rest 44.4% with normal blood lipid; the percentage of the male with dyslipidemia is 52.4% and the female is 56.4%. Age has positive correlation with TC and LDL-C level, and smoking has positive correlation with TG, TC and LDL-C level and so does drinking with TG and TC level. Single factor analysis finds out that compared with normal people, people who have abnormal blood pressure, waist to hip ratio and body fat ratio have dyslipidemia with statistic significance (p<0.01). And there is also statistic significance with the differences of dyslipidemia rate in energy, fat, protein, dietary fiber, vitamin B, vitamin E, cholesterol, cupper, iron and zinc intake(p<0.01).Conclusion: the dyslipidemia rate is 55.6% and it increases with the age. There are differences between nationalities with Han nationality 51.7% and Korean nationality 59.9%. People who have abnormal blood pressure, body mass index, waist to hip ratio and body fat abnormality are in higher risk of dyslipidemia; blood lipid doesn't alter whether the person smokes, drinks and does sports or not; the risk factors leading to dyslipidemia may consist of diet with high fat, high cholesterol, low fibrin and less vitamin E.The reason why the dyslipidemia rate is high is probably that the objects of the study are elderly people who live in countryside. The diet and living habit of Korean nationality and Han nationality may affect each other. These people like cure food and they don't do much exercise.This study reveals the prevalence of dyslipidemia in country people in Jilin Province investigates the relationship between living behavior pattern and dyslipidemia and illuminates the harms of dyslipidemia. It is significant for the guidance of proper diet for elderly people, for the improvement of life quality and for bringing down the society burden.
