Tóm tắt :

Background: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in India. In orderto reduce the burden of the disease, it is important to know the level of modifiablerisk factors in the population. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalenceof hypercholesterolaemia and associated factors among the population aged over30 years in a rural area in north Kerala, India.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out to find the prevalence ofhypercholesterolaemia among 533 residents of Kulappuram village. The fastingblood glucose level, total serum cholesterol level, blood pressure and body massindex of the residents were also assessed. The significance of association ofhypercholesterolaemia with age, sex, body mass index and blood pressure wastested using the chi-squared test. Logistic regression was carried out to estimatethe adjusted odds ratios (OR).Results: The prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia was 63.8%. It was moreprevalent in women (adjusted OR: 1.56; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.07–2.27),in those with body mass index in the range 23.0–24.9 kg/m2 (adjusted OR: 1.78;95% CI: 1.04–3.02) and in those with blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg (adjustedOR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.1–2.38).Conclusion: The prevalence of hypercholesterolaemia is high in the studypopulation
