Association between glucose and blood lipid among adolescents in eastern China

OBJECTIVE To analyze the relationship between glucose and blood lipid among adolescents aged 12-17 years in eastern China during 2016-2017. METHODS The data comes from the "Chinese Children and Nursing Mothers Nutrition and Health Monitoring" during 2016-2017. The detection of blood glucose and blood lipids were conducted among 8873 subjects(4405 boys, 4468 girls) from 8 provinces and 3 municipality of eastern China by multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method. Logistic regression was used to explore the factors related to abnormal blood glucose. RESULTS The average fasting blood-glucose of boys was(5. 24±0. 53)mmol/L, and girls was(5. 13±0. 54)mmol/L(t=9. 64, P<0. 05). The average fasting blood-glucose decreased with the increased of age(F=109. 50, P<0. 05). The abnormal rate of fasting blood-glucose differed among the subjects of various age groups were significant difference(χ~2=27. 16, P<0. 05). The abnormal rate fasting blood glucose of boys was 3. 44%(149 cases), and girls was 1. 93%(85 cases)(χ~2=14. 06, P<0. 05). The abnormal rate of 12-13 years old was the higest(n=126, 3. 58%) and the 16-17 years old was the lowest(n=42, 1. 67%). Both the TC and LDL-C were higher among the subjects with abnormal fasting blood glucose than those with normal fasting blood glucose(t=3. 03, P<0. 05;t=2. 41, P<0. 05). The result of logistic analysis showed that as the increase of TC level, the risk of abnormal fasting blood glucose was increased(OR=1. 98, 95%CI 1. 06-3. 71). CONCLUSION The level of fasting blood glucose and the abnormal rate of fasting blood glucose varies in age and sex. The higher level of TC might be the risk factor of abnormal fasting blood glucose among adolescents.
