Abstract

Objectives: The research aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of uncontrolled hyperlipidemia among Thai patients with the disease and Clinical ASCVD. Results: A total of 1,527 Thai diabetic patients with a history of ASCVD were included in the study. Uncontrolled hyperlipidemia was detected among 1,216 patients (79.6%; 95% CI 77.6–81.7). The independent factors associated with uncontrolled hyperlipidemia included being female (adjusted odds ratio (AORs); 1.5, 95% CI 1.2–2.0), using thiazolidinedione (AORs; 1.7, 95% CI 1.1–2.7), community hospital (AORs; 4.3, 95% CI 1.0–18.0) and BMI level at 18.5–22.9 kg/m2 (AORs; 2.2, 95% CI 1.2–4.0), 23.0–24.9 kg/m2 (AORs; 1.8 95% CI 0.9–3.3), 25.0–29.9 kg/m2 (AORs; 2.3 95% CI 1.3–4.3) and ≥ 30 kg/m2 (AORs; 2.5 95% CI 1.3–4.9).
