中国成人中代谢综合征和超重的流行病学
柳叶刀 365卷 9468期, 2005-4-16至2005-4-22 1398-1405页
背景
代谢综合征和肥胖是引起心血管疾病的主要危险因素。中国的代谢综合征的流行病学信息很少。我们的研究目的在于提供对于普通中国成人中代谢综合征和超重的流行率的最新评估。
方法
在2000-2001年我们对年龄为35-74岁的15 540名中国成人的作为全国性的具有代表性的样本。根据美国国家胆固醇教育计划的指导方针定义了代谢综合征,将身体质量指数为25.0公斤/平方米或更高定义为超重。
结果
代谢综合征的年龄标准化流行率为:男性9.8%(置信区间95% 9.0-10.6),女性17.8%(16.6-19.0)。超重的年龄标准化流行病学为:男性26.9%(25.7-28.1),女性31.1%(29.7-32.5)。中国代谢综合征和超重的流行率北方高于南方,城市高于农村。
解释
我们的结果显示:大部分中国成人患有代谢综合征和超重,这已经成为中国一个重要的公共健康问题。这些发现结果强调:为了减少在中国心血管疾病的社会负担,发展对于预防、监测以及治疗超重和代谢综合征的国家战略成为一项迫在眉睫的需要。
个人观点:
由于心血管疾病是当今世界上威胁人类最严重的疾病之一,其发病率和死亡率已超过肿瘤性疾病而跃居第一,1994 年全世界死亡人数为5220万,其中1530万死于心血管疾病,占死亡人数的29%,2002年增至36%,居首位。在中国随着传染病被控制,人民生活水平的提高,患有代谢综合征和超重的中国成人也越来越多,而代谢综合征和肥胖是引起心血管疾病的主要危险因素。患心血管疾病的人群日益庞大,巨额的治疗费用和患病者的低生活质量成为中国的一项社会负担。因此发展对于预防、监测以及治疗超重和代谢综合征的国家战略成为一项迫在眉睫的需要。

Prevalence of the metabolic syndrome and overweight among adults in China
The Lancet Volume 365, Issue 9468 , 16 April 2005-22 April 2005, Pages 1398-1405
Background
The metabolic syndrome and obesity are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Little information exists on the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in China. We aimed to provide up-to-date estimates of the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome and overweight in the general adult population in China.
Methods
We did a cross-sectional survey in a nationally representative sample of 15 540 Chinese adults aged 35–74 years in 2000–01. Metabolic syndrome was defined according to guidelines from the US National Cholesterol Education Program. Overweight was defined as body-mass index of 25·0 kg/m2 or greater.
Findings
The age-standardised prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 9·8% (95% CI 9·0–10·6) in men and 17·8% (16·6–19·0) in women. The age-standardised prevalence of overweight was 26·9% (25·7–28·1) in men and 31·1% (29·7–32·5) in women. The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome and overweight was higher in northern than in southern China, and higher in urban than rural residents.
Interpretation
Our results indicate that a large proportion of Chinese adults have the metabolic syndrome and that overweight has become an important public health problem in China. These findings emphasise the urgent need to develop national strategies for the prevention, detection, and treatment of overweight and the metabolic syndrome, to reduce the societal burden of cardiovascular disease in China.
