Abstract:Objective To examine the plasma lipid level and distribution in workers of a hospital in Shaoxing city.Methods The complete survey method was used to investigate 1 279 staff of a hospital aged 20 to 60 from January to February, 2018, and general physical examination and lipid monitoring were performed. They were divided into 20 to 30 years old group, 31 to 40 years old group, 41 to 50 years old group and 51 to 60 years old group and the dyslipidemia and the distribution characteristics in each group were analyzed.Results Levels of total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly different among these age groups (all P<0.01). TC, TG and LDL-C levels in the staff aged 31 years old and above were all significantly higher than those in the group of 20 to 30 years old (all P<0.01). TC, TG, and LDL-C levels of males were all significantly higher those of females (all P<0.01). HDL-C levels in males were lower than those in females. The incidence of dyslipidemia of the staff was 19.23% and it was significantly higher in males than that in females (36.86% VS 12.0%, P<0.01). The prevalence of high TC, high TG, and low LDL-C increased with age, and chi-square test showed statistically significant differences (all P<0.01).Conclusion The prevalence of dyslipidemia in the hospital staff (36.86%) is lower than the overall prevalence of dyslipidemia in Chinese adults (40.40%). The prevalence of dyslipidemia is higher in males than in females. Male staff should be the focus of prevention in dyslipidemia crowd.
