Objective To investigate the prevalence status and characteristics of dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk factors in urban communities of Chengdu city. Methods By cluster sampling, a population of 994 inhabitants were selected from 14 urban communities in Chengdu city between February and October 2010. We investigated patients between 35-70 years old who lived in the area over 2 years, by using questionnaires survey, physical examination, and laboratory tests. According to the age, the respondents were divided into three groups: young group ( ≤ 44 years old), middle-aged group (45-59 years old) and elderly group ( ≥ 60 years old). We further investigated the major cardiovascular risk factors for hyperlipidemic patients. Results The prevalence of dyslipidemia in Chengdu urban area was 28.47% (283/994), and standardized prevalence rate was 24.65% (male, 24.68%; female, 30.91%). The prevalence rate between male and female had significant diTherence (χ2=4.513, P=0.034). Female elderly group and middle-aged group had a significantly higher prevalence than the young group (P<0.05), while the male prevalence had no statistical diTherences among all age groups (P>0.05). Hypertension was most common in patients with dyslipidemia (male, 50.04%; female, 52.41%) followed by diabetes and coronary heart disease. There was no difference between male and female in the prevalence of dyslipidemia accompanied hypertension, history of stoke and coronary heart disease, abdominal obesity,or obesity (P>0.05). Higher prevalence with smoking and drinking was in male patients (P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of dyslipidemia is relatively high in urban communities of Chengdu city. According to the region of hyperlipemia epidemiological characteristics and risk factors, by using comprehensive intervention measures, we can reduce the prevalence of dyslipidemia.
