Abstract

Objectives Recent dramatic increases in cardiovascular disease mortality in China can be mostly explained by adverse changes in hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes and obesity, known as cardiometabolic risk factors. Our study aimed to assess the trend of these four signatures by a 10-year lag in Nanjing, China. Methods 8017 subjects attended the routine health examination in 2008, and 9379 subjects in 2017, from multiple work units of Nanjing, were included in the present study. The prevalence and trend of four cardiometabolic risk factors: hypertension, dyslipidaemia, diabetes and obesity were analysed. Results From 2008 to 2017, the prevalence of hypertension declined, while the prevalence of dyslipidaemia, diabetes and obesity increased. Besides, the population in 2008 and 2017 had an average of 0.66 and 0.78 risk factors, respectively. Conclusion Cardiometabolic risk factors are common for the staff in administrative agencies and institutions of Nanjing, China. Effective screening and interventions against these risk factors should be adopted in high-risk populations such as the office-working population in China.
