To investigate the prevalence and epidemiological features of valvular heart disease (VHD) adult populations with different ethnicities in Xinjiang.
A total of 14 618 adults aged 35 or older were surveyed. Random sampling was employed to study valvular heart diseases in different age, gender and ethnic groups. Samples were collected from 7 localities (Urumqi, Ke lamayi, Fukang, Turfan Basin, Hetian, Altay, Yili Hazakh Autonomous Prefecture) in 23 municipalities and 5 autonomous counties in Xinjiang. The proportion of male to female accounted for 50% each.
The overall prevalence of valvular heart diseases was 7.67% (male: 7.31% vs. female: 8.00%). The prevalence rates of valvular heart diseases were 10.57%, 2.36% and 12.22% in Han, Uygur and Kazakh populations, respectively. The prevalence of valvular heart diseases was lower in Uygur than in Hazak and Han ethnic populations (χ(2) = 3.90, P = 0.000). Complications related to valvular heart diseases would include hypertension (63.20%), diabetes (7.60%), coronary heart disease (7.50%) and fibrillation atrial (3.20%).
The prevalence of valvular heart diseases had a substantial increase, parallel with age. Differences were seen on the prevalence rates of VHD among ethnic populations.
调查新疆不同民族成年人群心脏瓣膜病（VHD）的患病率及流行病学特征。
共调查14618名35岁及以上成年人。采用随机抽样方法研究不同年龄、性别和民族群体的心脏瓣膜病。样本来自新疆23个市和5个自治县的7个地区（乌鲁木齐、克拉玛依、阜康、吐鲁番盆地、和田、阿勒泰、伊犁哈萨克自治州）。男女比例各占50%。
心脏瓣膜病的总体患病率为7.67%（男性：7.31%，女性：8.00%）。汉族、维吾尔族和哈萨克族人群中心脏瓣膜病的患病率分别为10.57%、2.36%和12.22%。维吾尔族心脏瓣膜病的患病率低于哈萨克族和汉族人群（χ(2)=3.90，P=0.000）。与心脏瓣膜病相关的并发症包括高血压（63.20%）、糖尿病（7.60%）、冠心病（7.50%）和心房颤动（3.20%）。
心脏瓣膜病的患病率随年龄大幅增加。不同民族人群中心脏瓣膜病的患病率存在差异。
