Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate the risk factors affecting dyslipidemia in women according to age group.
Methods
This secondary analysis study used data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHNES), 2014~2017. The participants were 10,573 women aged 30 years and older. Data were analysed using descriptive data, x2 statistic, and complex sample multiple logistic regression analysis.
Results
Prevalence of hyper-LDL cholesterolemia was estimated at 10.8% (30~49 years old), 42.3% (50~64 years old) and 62.0% (over 65 years old). Prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia was estimated at 6.8% (30~49 years old), 13.1% (50~64 years old) and 14.7% (over 65 years old). Risk factors of hyper-LDL cholesterolemia were hypertension, menopause, body mass index, smoking, drinking status in women aged 30~49 years old. Risk factors of hyper-LDL cholesterolemia were hypertension, menopause, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, drinking status in women aged 50~64 years old, and hypertension in women over 65 years old. Risk factors of hypertriglyceridemia were hypertension, menopause, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking in women aged 30~49 years old. Risk factors of hypertriglyceridemia were hypertension, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, energy percent from fat in women aged 50~64 years old, and smoking in women over 65 years old.
Conclusion
The results of this study revealed the important role of hypertension, menopause, body mass index, waist circumference, smoking, drinking status and energy percent from fat on dyslipidemia according to age group in women. Based on these results, different approaches considering women's age group should be prepared in order to prevent and manage dyslipidemia.
