Current Status of Serum Lipids,Hypertension and Hyperglycemia in 1980 of the Young and Middle Aged Policemen in Zhuhai City

Objective To understand the current status of the serum lipids in the young and middle aged policemen,and to compare the detection rates of hypertension and hyperglycemia among individuals with different lipid levels.Methods Total cholesterol(TC),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and triglyceride(TG)were detected in 1 980 of the young and middle aged policemen by standard methods.Lipid levels and phenotypes of dyslipidemia were classified according to the'Recommended guidelines for prevention and treatment of dyslipidemia'of China(1997).Hypertension and hyperglycemia were defined according to the WHO's standard respectively.The relationship of dyslipidemia with hypertension and hyperglycemia were studied furthermore.Results There were 47.1% of the subjects whose TG and TC levels were in the optimal levels.The detection rates of hypertension and hyperglycemia were 8.4% and 3.6% respectively.The average levels of TC and TG in male aged 31 years old and over were beyond the optimal levels.The levels of fasting blood glucose and blood pressure of those with dyslipidemia were higher than of the normal individuals generally.The detection rates of hyperglycemia and hypertension in subjects with normal serum lipids were 1.5% and 4.2%,in subjects with hypertriglyceridemia were 6.5% and 8.8%,in hypercholesterolemia subjects were 1.7% and 16.1%,and in those subjects with mixed dyslipidemia were 4.7% and 18.7% respectively.Conclusion There was a trend of high prevalence of dyslipidemia,hypertension and hyperglycemia in young policemen.
