Hypertriglyceridemia and the Related Factors in Middle-aged Adults in Taiwan

以中興新村為例:中年人高三酸甘油脂血症與其相關因子之研究

摘要


Background. Our purpose was to evaluate the relationship between hypertriglyceridemia and the related factors in middle-aged adults. Methods. We used data collected from the Provincial Government in Chung-Hsing Village in Taiwan during May 1998. All officers included in the study were between 40 and 64 years old. Totally, 709 volunteers underwent blood tests. To study the significant correlates of hypertrigl yceridemia, the t-test, chi-squared analysis, and multivariate logistic regression were used. Results. Our results showed that the participants included 40% men and 60% women. The mean age was 50.5± 6.8 years. The mean triglyceride values were 1.74± 1.17 mmol/L in the men and 1.43 ± 0.85 mmol/L in the women, respectively (p < 0.000. The proportions of hypertriglyceridemia were 20.1% in the men and 12.7% in the women (p < 0.01). After controlling the other covariates, the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the significant related factors of hypertriglyceridemia were abnormal glutamic pyruvic transaminase, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, and hyperuricemia. Conclusions. Hypertriglyceridemia is more common in middle-aged men than in middle-aged women. It is recommended that serum triglyceride levels should be tested if high serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase value, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, or hyperuricemia is found in middle-aged adults.
