We investigated the risk factors for gallstone disease in Taiwan.
We retrospectively analyzed medical records of patients receiving periodic health examination at China Medical College Hospital from January to December 2000. A detailed history, physical examination, biochemical measurements, and abdominal ultrasonography were done.
The 602 men (58.6%) and 426 women (41.4%) had a mean age of 49.2 +/- 12.8 years (range, 18 to 87). The prevalence of gallstone disease was 7.8% in women and 6.5% in men. After controlling for other covariates, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that with a reference group aged less than 40 years as a comparison, both men and women aged 65 or older were more likely to have gallstone disease.
Age in both sexes and hepatitis C virus infection in women were found to be risk factors for gallstone disease in our study population.
我们对台湾地区胆结石疾病的风险因素进行了调查。
我们回顾性分析了2000年1月至12月在中国医药大学附设医院接受定期健康检查的患者的病历。进行了详细的病史询问、体格检查、生化检测及腹部超声检查。
602名男性(58.6%)和426名女性(41.4%),平均年龄为49.2±12.8岁(范围18至87岁)。胆结石疾病的患病率在女性中为7.8%,在男性中为6.5%。在控制了其他协变量后,多因素逻辑回归分析显示,以年龄小于40岁的参照组作为比较,65岁及以上的男性和女性患胆结石疾病的可能性更高。
在我们的研究人群中,发现两性的年龄以及女性的丙型肝炎病毒感染是胆结石疾病的风险因素。
