Comparative Study On Metabolic Syndrome And Its Related Factors Among The Korean-Chinese And Han-Chinese In Yanbian Area

Objective: To compare the situation of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its related factors among the Han-Chinese and Korean-Chinese in a rural area of Yanbian. Methods: This survey was carried out at to two of towns selected randomly around the Tumen city, in which the Han-Chinese and Korean-Chinese residents aged ≥30 years participated in a cross-sectional survey. The data including demology characteristics, lifestyle, diseases history and family history of metabolic syndrome associated diseases etc were gathered by face-to-face questionnare, and it was measured that the anthropometric variables, blood pressure and biochemical characteristics. The MS was defined by CDS criteria and adjusted NCEP-ATPII1 criteria. Results:1. Total 1120 of male and female participants were included in this study.2. The mean of HDL-C in the Korean-Chinese were significantly lower than that in the Han-Chinese (P<0.01) , but the mean of SBP, DBP (P<0.01) and FBG (P<0.05) in the Korean-Chinese were significantly higher than that in the Han-Chinese (P<0.01).3. The prevalence rates of hypertension, high FBG and dyslipidemia in the Korean-Chinese were significantly higher than that in the Han-Chinese (P<0.01).4. By the definition of CDS criteria and adjusted NCEP-ATPI1I criteria, the prevalence rates and age-adjusted prevalence of MS in the Korean-Chinese were significantly higher than that in the Han-Chinese (P<0.01).5. The prevalence rates of MS changed with increasing of age.6. The proportion of absence and 1 metabolize abnormity in the Korean-Chinese were more lower than that in the Han-Chinese, but the proportion of ≥2 metabolize abnormity in the Korean-Chinese were more higher than that in the Han-Chinese.7. The results from correlation analysis indicated that the MS was related with race, age, smoke and alcohol consumption, waist circumference, total cholesterol, CVD history in family (P<0.01) , waist-to-hip ratio (P<0.05) , and not related with sex and daily activity.8. The multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that MS in the Korean-Chinese was related with sex, smoke and alcohol consumption, waist circumference, total cholesterol and CVD history in family and waist-to-hip ratio, and that in the Han-Chinese related with sex, smoke and alcohol consumption, waist circumference and total cholesterol. Conclusion: There was a significant difference in the MS morbility between the Korean-Chinese and Han-Chinese. The MS in the Korean-Chinese of this area relates with sex, smoke and alcohol consumption, waist circumference, total cholesterol, CVD history in family and waist-to-hip ratio, and in the Han-Chinese relates with sex, smoke and alcohol consumption, waist circumference and total cholesterol.
