AN EVALUATION OF CLINICAL AND PARACLINICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND INFLUENCING FACTORS OF DYSLIPIDEMIA AT VO TRUONG TOAN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL IN 2025
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background: Dyslipidemia is increasingly prevalent in Vietnam, particularly among individuals with overweight and obesity. This condition has emerged as a significant public health burden due to its strong association with cardiovascular diseases and premature mortality. Objectives: This study aimed to elucidate the clinical characteristics, paraclinical features, and contributing factors associated with dyslipidemia at Vo Truong Toan University Hospital. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 150 patients diagnosed with dyslipidemia at Vo Truong Toan University Hospital from April 2025 to June 2025. Results: Among the 150 patients with dyslipidemia, the majority exhibited a sedentary lifestyle (92%), obesity (76.7%), hypertension (76.7%), type 2 diabetes mellitus (66.7%), and increased waist circumference (66.7%). The most prevalent lipid abnormality was hypertriglyceridemia (58%), followed by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (14.7%) and reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (8%). Obesity significantly increased the risk of hypertriglyceridemia (OR = 20.10; p < 0.001) and elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR = 7.60; p = 0.024). Both increased waist circumference and elevated visceral fat percentage were significantly associated with elevated triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p < 0.01). No statistically significant association was found between acanthosis nigricans, hepatic steatosis, and elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Hypertriglyceridemia was the most common lipid disorder (58%), followed by elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (14.7%) and decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (8%). General obesity and abdominal obesity markedly increased the risk of dyslipidemia (p < 0.05). Notably, a high visceral fat ratio was associated with a significantly increased risk of elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR = 15.32; 95% confidence interval: 2.00–117.45, p = 0.001).
