[Study of triglyceride distribution aged 35 - 64, and their association with other cardiovascular disease risk factors in 11 provinces].
OBJECTIVE
Study of triglyceride distribution and their association with other major cardiovascular disease risk factors in 11 provinces.


METHODS
Twenty-seven thousand and sixteen persons in 11 provinces, aged 35 - 64, were screened for cardiovascular disease risk factors.


RESULTS
(1) Results of plasma triglyceride level distribution showed that there was significant difference among 11 province, the highest/lowest ratio was 2.3. (2) Plasma triglyceride level was higher in men than in women (P < 0.001). (3) The prevelance of hypertriglyceridemia was the most frequent type of the dislipidemia. (4) Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, body mass index, blood pressure, blood glucose and physical activity, significantly and independently correlated with hypertriglyceridemia prevelance. (5) There existed aggregation of risk factors in hypertriglyceridemia. Seventy-one point zero percent of hypertriglyceridemia had at least one other risk factors in men and 74.4% in women, while it was 53.8% men and 52.2% women of those with non hypertriglyceridemia (P < 0.01).


CONCLUSIONS
Our date indicated that fasting triglycerides were associated with more arteriosclerosis factors and could serve as a marker for several cardiovascular disease risk factors. More patients with hypertriglyceridemia combined with other situation of metabolic syndromes thus might have higher risks.
