Key result
Metabolic risk factors linked to dyslipidemia in Miao adults, with an overall prevalence of ~33%.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular risk factors in Chinese ethnic minority groups, including the Miao population, are rarely reported and need quantification and association analysis with dyslipidemia.
Cross-Sectional (n=5,032)

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular risk factors in Chinese ethnic minority groups are rarely reported. OBJECTIVE: To quantify the cardiovascular risk factors in Miao Chinese adults and to examine the association of health behaviors and metabolic risk factors with dyslipidemia. METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using baseline data from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) study. A representative sample of 5559 Miao participants aged 30 to 79 years were surveyed and given physical and laboratory exams. The proportion of behavioral and metabolic risk factors were described in ethnic Miao adults. Logistic regression was utilized to evaluate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the association between health behaviors and metabolic risk factors with dyslipidemia. RESULTS: In Miao Chinese adults, the prevalence of dyslipidemia was 32.8%. After multivariate adjustment, subjects with poor waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose (FBG) and blood pressure (BP) were more likely to have higher risk of triglycerides (TG) abnormality, regardless of gender and age. Furthermore, the strongly association was detected between poor WHR and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) abnormality (adjusted OR = 5.24, 95%CI: 2.42-11.34) in the older subgroup (≥ 60 years). Males who current smoking were an independent risk factor only for high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) abnormality (adjusted OR = 1.44, 95%CI: 1.05-1.99). However, in the subgroup age, current smoker were at greater risk of high TG and low HDL-C. Males with regular drinking were less likely to be high LDL-C (adjusted OR = 0.51, 95%CI: 0.32-0.81). CONCLUSIONS: The present findings indicated that Miao adults with metabolic risk factors were at greater risk of dyslipidemia.

Nie et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Dyslipidemia (n=5,032). Metabolic and behavioral risk factors (e.g., poor WHR, BMI, BP, FBG, smoking, alcohol use) vs. Ideal or intermediate metabolic and behavioral risk factors was evaluated on Prevalence of dyslipidemia. Metabolic risk factors including poor waist-to-hip ratio, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, and blood pressure were significantly associated with an increased risk of dyslipidemia among ethnic Miao Chinese adults, who exhibited an overall dyslipidemia prevalence of 32.8%.
