title: [Plasma lipid level and incidence of dyslipidemia in workers of Chongqing enterprises and institutions].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine the plasma lipid level and distribution of dyslipidemia in workers of Chongqing enterprises and institutions.
  
  
  METHODS
  By using cluster sampling method, 20 000 workers of Chongqing enterprises and institutions aged 18 to 60 were selected as target population from January to October, 2009. We conducted questionnaire survey, physical and laboratory examinations including total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Workers were divided into 18 - 29 years old group, 30 - 39 years old group, 40 - 49 years old group and 50 - 60 years old group. Characteristic and distribution of dyslipidemia were analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly different in various age group (all P < 0.01). TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C levels in the 30 years and over groups were all significantly higher than in the under 30 years old group(all P < 0.01). The TG levels in the 40 - 49 years old group and the 50 - 60 years old group were similar (P > 0.05). After adjusting for age, TC, TG, HDL-C and LDL-C levels in males were all significantly higher than in females (all P < 0.01). The incidence of dyslipidemia in this population was 35.01% and significantly higher in males than that of females (58.27% vs. 11.01%, P < 0.01). The incidence of dyslipidemia increased with aging (P < 0.01).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The prevalence of dyslipidemia is high in Chongqing enterprises and institutions. The incidence of dyslipidemia is higher in males than in females and higher among the 30 years and over workers than that of under 30 years old workers.
