Angola is a sub-Saharan African country where the population has scarce access to lipidlowering medication. We sought to determine the frequency of lipid disorders among Angolan nonusers of lipid-lowering medication.
A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in a sample of 604 workers from the public sector. Blood pressure and anthropometric data were measured along with biochemical parameters including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). LDL-C to HDL-C ratio (LDL-C/HDL-C) was obtained from LDL-C and HDL-C levels.
High frequencies of elevated blood pressure (44.8%), metabolic syndrome (20.2%), increased TC (39.2%) and increased LDL-C (19.3%) were found. Low HDL-C was more frequent in women (62.4% vs. 36.1%, p < 0.001). Isolated hypercholesterolemia was more frequent in men (9.6% vs. 2.5%, p < 0.001). Among men TC, TG, LDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio were higher and HDL-C was lower in obese than in low-weight and normal-weight participants. Among women TC, TG, LDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratio were higher in obese than in normal-weight participants. Significant linear trend of increasing TC and LDL-C levels as age increased was detected for both genders (p for trend < 0.05).
The results of our study showed a high frequency of lipid disorders in Angolan non-users of lipid-lowering medication.
安哥拉是撒哈拉以南非洲的一个国家,该国人口难以获得降脂药物。我们试图确定安哥拉未使用降脂药物人群中脂质紊乱的发生率。
对604名公共部门工作人员的样本进行了横断面描述性研究。测量了血压、人体测量数据以及包括总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇(HDL-C)在内的生化参数。LDL-C与HDL-C的比值(LDL-C/HDL-C)由LDL-C和HDL-C水平得出。
发现高血压(44.8%)、代谢综合征(20.2%)、TC升高(39.2%)和LDL-C升高(19.3%)的发生率较高。女性HDL-C低更为常见(62.4%对36.1%,p<0.001)。男性单纯高胆固醇血症更为常见(9.6%对2.5%,p<0.001)。在男性中,肥胖者的TC、TG、LDL-C和LDL-C/HDL-C比值高于低体重和正常体重参与者,HDL-C则较低。在女性中,肥胖者的TC、TG、LDL-C和LDL-C/HDL-C比值高于正常体重参与者。检测到两性TC和LDL-C水平均随年龄增加呈显著线性趋势(趋势p<0.05)。
我们的研究结果显示,安哥拉未使用降脂药物人群中脂质紊乱的发生率较高。
