[A case control study on the levels of lipid, fasting glucose, fasting insulin and sex hormones of hypertension in among elderly Uighur people in Hetian, Xinjiang].
OBJECTIVE
To detect the relationship between the levels of lipid, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, sex hormones and hypertension in the elderly Uighur people in Hetian, Xinjiang.


METHODS
A case control study on 105 cases of hypertension was performed, including 58 males and 47 females, aged 60 - 106.


RESULTS
Among the lipid analysis items, the decrease of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) was the important factor related to the occurrence of the complications of hypertension (OR = 5.6214). The increases of both fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels were also risk factors of hypertension in the elderly Uighur people (OR = 2.4474 and OR = 2.5318).


CONCLUSIONS
The risk factors of hypertension in the elderly Uighur people included decrease of HDL-C, high-level fasting glucose and fasting insulin.
