Abstract

ObjectiveThe clustering of multiple cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors (CRFs) increases the risk of CVD prevalence and mortality. Little is known about CRF clustering among community-dwelling older people in Xinjiang. The objective of this study was to explore the prevalence of CRF clustering in this population.DesignCross-sectional study.SettingXinjiang, China.ParticipantsMultilevel random sampling was used to survey individuals aged ≥60 in six regions of Xinjiang. In total, 87 000 participants volunteered, with a response rate of 96.67%; 702 participants with incomplete data were excluded and data from 86 298 participants were analysed.Outcome measuresThe prevalence of smoking, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidaemia and overweight/obesity was 9.4%, 52.1%, 16.8%, 28.6% and 62.7%, respectively. The prevalence of CRF clusters among people of different ages, regions and ethnic groups differed significantly. The 85.7% of the participants presented at least one CRFs and 55.9% of the participants presented clustering of CRFs. The proportion of CRF clusters tended to be higher in men, 60–69-year-old group, northern Xinjiang and the Kazakh population. After adjusting for age and sex, logistic regression analysis revealed that men, 60–69-year-old group, northern Xinjiang and the Kazakh population were more likely to have clustering of CRFs, compared with their counterparts.ConclusionsThe prevalence of CRFs in the older Xinjiang population is high and their clustering differs by sex, age, region and ethnicity. CRF prevention and management should be active in this population, and strategies to reduce CVD risk based on sex, age, ethnic group and region are warranted.
