[Serum lipid profile changes of the adults in Shanghai communities].
OBJECTIVE
To explore the adult lipid profile of Huayang community from 1998 to 2000 and Caoyang communities in 2001.


METHODS
Representative serum samples of 5628 adults (aged 20 - 95 years) were obtained in Huayang and Caoyang communities during 1998.9 and 2001.11. Standard epidemiology questionnaire, physical check-ups and serum lipids data were analyzed.


RESULTS
After standardization to Chinese census statistics of 2000, the age-and sex-standardized means of total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C and triglycerides of the two communities (Huayang vs. Caoyang) were 5.01 mmol/L vs. 4.43 mmol/L, 1.28 mmol/L vs. 1.32 mmol/L, 3.37 mmol/L vs. 2.99 mmol/L, 1.97 mmol/L vs. 1.60 mmol/L respectively, and the age- and sex- standardized prevalence of dyslipidemia was 52.9% vs. 25.1%, and the prevalence for borderline dyslipidemia was 76.0% vs. 56.2%, respectively. The decreasing order of dyslipidemia prevalence of the two communities was: elevated TG, decreased HDL-C, elevated LDL-C and TC. The standardized proportions of optimal HDL-C level were only 15.7% and 16.1% in Huayang and Caoyang respectively which was much lower than these of TG, LDL and TC.


CONCLUSIONS
The standardized prevalence of adult dyslipidemia and borderline dyslipidemia in the two communities were high. Dyslipidemia of the two communities was TG and decreased.
