To assess the prevalence of dyslipidemia and its determinants among adults in the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia.
This data was collected during interviews utilizing a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire measured the demographics, diagnosis with dyslipidemia, and distribution of dyslipidemia determinants among the sample, including dietary habits and lifestyle practices. A chi-square test was used to examine the statistical difference between the characteristics of individuals who had reported checking their lipid profile to those who reported never performing a lipid profile check-up among participants not diagnosed with dyslipidemia.
The current study included a total of 244 participants. The median age of the participants was 27 years, most participants were female (66.8%), and about 59% had a university education or above. Approximately 40% of the participants had ever had their lipid profile checked, 20.1% of the participants had been diagnosed with dyslipidemia, and 20.9% had family history of dyslipidemia. Most of the undiagnosed participants (79.9%) had more than one risk factor for developing dyslipidemia. All the participants without a dyslipidemia diagnosis had not been meeting the recommended levels of physical activity, and more than half consumed a high-fat diet. The results of the inferential analysis indicate that among those who had not been diagnosed with dyslipidemia, participants who were older than 27 years, male, unemployed, married, had a university education or above, and a minimum monthly income of 5000 Saudi Arabia Riyals were more likely to check their lipid profile compared to other groups (p-values <0.05).
The findings suggest that most of the participants who had not been diagnosed with dyslipidemia are at high risk of developing dyslipidemia. About 60% of the participants had never checked their lipid profile, suggesting a need to promote routine lipid profile check-ups among individuals at high-risk for dyslipidemia.
评估沙特阿拉伯吉赞地区成年人血脂异常的患病率及其决定因素。
本数据通过使用结构化问卷在访谈期间收集。该问卷测量了人口统计学特征、血脂异常诊断以及样本中血脂异常决定因素的分布情况，包括饮食习惯和生活方式。采用卡方检验来检查在未被诊断为血脂异常的参与者中，报告检查过血脂谱的个体与报告从未进行过血脂谱检查的个体之间特征的统计差异。
本研究共纳入244名参与者。参与者的中位年龄为27岁，大多数参与者为女性（66.8%），约59%拥有大学及以上学历。约40%的参与者曾检查过血脂谱，20.1%的参与者被诊断为血脂异常，20.9%有血脂异常家族史。大多数未被诊断出的参与者（79.9%）有不止一种患血脂异常的风险因素。所有未被诊断为血脂异常的参与者均未达到推荐的身体活动水平，且超过一半的人食用高脂肪饮食。推断分析结果表明，在未被诊断为血脂异常的人群中，年龄大于27岁、男性、失业、已婚、拥有大学及以上学历且月收入至少5000沙特里亚尔的参与者比其他组更有可能检查血脂谱（p值<0.05）。
研究结果表明，大多数未被诊断为血脂异常的参与者有患血脂异常的高风险。约60%的参与者从未检查过血脂谱，这表明需要在血脂异常高危个体中推广常规血脂谱检查。
