Abstract:To investigate blood lipid level and medication of highrisk population of stroke in eight communities of Beijing and to explore the TCM syndrome differences and distribution between patients who reached ideal LDLC and those who did not. Methods:A total of 9605 cases aged over 40 with highrisk factors of stroke were recruited from eight communities of Beijing. Demographic characteristics, past medical history, drug history,TCM symptoms and four diagnostic information were obtained. Blood lipid levels were measured from fasting blood, including Triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TCHO), lowdensity lipoprotein cholesterol(LDLC) and highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol(HDLC). According to different risk factors and whether the patient has arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease(ASCVD), patients were divided into extremelyhighrisk group, highrisk group, mediumrisk group and lowrisk group. Different LDLC goals were set up for each groups: 2.1 mmol/L, 2.6mmol/L, 3.4mmol/L and 4.1 mmol/L. The percentages of cases achieved the goals in these four groups were calculated respectively. Besides, TCM symptoms, tongue examinations and pulse manifestations were analyzed. Results:Among 9605 residents with high risk of stroke,the percentage of cases with dyslipidemia was 80.4%, lipidlowing treatment rate was 32.9%, and statin treatment rate was 31.9%. The percentages of patients who achieved LDLC goals in extremehighrisk group, highrisk group, mediumrisk group and lowrisk group were 26.5%, 15%, 58.2% ,83.7% respectively, and the overall LDLCgoalachieved rate was 43.8%. As for TCM symptoms, the occurrence rate of emaciation in goalachieved group was significantly higher than that in goalnotachieved group(P<0.01). The occurrence rates of sallow complexion, flushing, head feeling heavy as if swathed, dizziness, insomnia, thirst, bitter taste of mouth, sticky and greasy mouth, chest tightness, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, clumsy limb, fatigue, frequent urination at night, cough laugh enuresis, dark tongue and slippery pulse in goalachieved group were lower than that in goalnotachieved group (P<0.01, P<0.05). The occurrence rate of blood stasis syndrome and Qi deficiency syndrome in goalachieved group were lower than those of the goalnotachieved group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Conclusion:The percentage of patients who achieved LDLC goals in communities of Beijing was relatively low, and there was a phenomenon of drug misuse. Spleen and kidney deficiency, phlegm and blood stasis syndrome were more obvious among patients who fail to control cholesterol.
