Incidence and risk factors of carotid artery plaque in some community in Hohhot
Objective To study the incidence of carotid artery plaque and its related risk factors in residents at some community in Hohhot City,and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and management of local carotid artery plaque.Methods From January to June 2022,868 examinees who underwent carotid artery color ultrasound examination and completed questionnaires during physical examination at Haidong Road community,Xincheng District,Hohhot City were selected as the research objects.Their clinical data were collected.Their lifestyles were investigated by questionnaire.t,Welch's t,and x2 tests were used.The binary logistic regression analysis model was used to explore the related risk factors of carotid artery plaque formation.Results This study included a total of 868 research objects;they were(56.82±9.77)years old;there were 424 males(48.8％)and 444 females(51.2％);469 patients(54.0％)had carotid artery plaques were detected,and the rest 399 patients(46.0％)did not.There were statistical differences between the carotid artery plaque group and the non-plaque group in age,fasting blood glucose,glycated hemoglobin,high-density lipoprotein,homocysteine,smoking and exercise behaviors,and vegetable and fruit diet(all P＜0.05).The binary logistic regression analysis showed that the occurrence of carotid artery plaque was related to gender(OR=0.368,95％CI 0.230-0.588),age(OR=1.129,95％CI 1.102-1.157),smoking behavior(OR=23.540,95％CI 11.939-46.414),glycosylated hemoglobin(OR=1.663,95％CI 1.188-2.329),and high-density lipoprotein(OR=0.291,95％CI 0.117-0.729).Conclusion Among the permanent residents at Haidong Road Community,Xincheng District,Hohhot City,increasing age,gender,smoking,poor glycemic control,and high-density lipoprotein level are the main independent risk factors of carotid artery plaque formation.Effective interventions on these risk factors,especially smoking cessation and blood sugar control,may reduce the risk of carotid artery plaques,thereby reducing the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in the residents.
