Abstract

Introduction: Surveilling the prevalence of non-communicable disease risk factors in the community is necessary for the non-communicable disease prevention strategy in Vietnam. The study aims to provide information contributing to the control strategies of non-communicable disease risk factors in the community. Objectives: To indetify the fasting blood glucose concentration, blood lipids (including total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglycerides), and the proportion of people with abnormal fasting blood glucose and blood lipid levels among individuals who underwent health check-ups at the University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City from January 2021 to December 2021. Analyze the differences between genders and age groups. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1001 adults aged 18 and above who underwent health check-ups at the University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City. Quantitative measurements of fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C, and triglycerides were performed. Data on age and gender were also collected. The results were stored and analyzed using STATA software. Results: Among the study population, the results showed that 15.7% of individuals had impaired fasting blood glucose, 3.5% had diabetes mellitus, and the proportion of elevated fasting blood glucose was higher in males than females. The age group 50-69 had the highest proportion of elevated fasting blood glucose (>=5.6 mmol/l) at 42.6% compared to other age groups. The proportions of elevated total cholesterol, LDL-C, and triglycerides in the blood were 53.6%, 49.6%, and 43.0% of the total study population, respectively. Low HDL-C was found in 22.6% of participants. The proportion of males with abnormal lipid levels was higher than females, and the age group 50-69 had the highest proportion of disorders in all lipid components. The age group 18-29 had a 11.6% prevalence of elevated blood glucose and a 42% prevalence of elevated total cholesterol. Conclusion: Impaired fasting blood glucose and abnormal blood lipid levels are most common in males and the older age group of 50-69, but they are also significantly observed in the younger age group of 18-29. Screening for metabolic risk factors contributes to lifestyle adjustments, reducing risky behaviors, and effectively preventing non-communicable diseases.
