To investigate the relationship between total cholesterol (TC) levels, snoring condition with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in a population of 30-79 years old from the Dong ethnic minority in Guizhou Province, and to further analysethe interaction between the two on MetS.
The data of this study came from the database of the “Natural Population Cohort Study in the Gathering Places of Ethnic Minorities in Southwest China”, and a total of 5 815 people of Dong ethnic group aged 30-79 years in Guizhou Province were included, and used binary logistic regression to analyse the associations of TC level and snoring condition with MetS, respectively. A multiplicative model and an additive model were constructed for assessing the association of the interaction between TC level and snoring condition with MetS.
The detection rate of metabolic syndrome was 22.08% in the population of the hereditary Dong ethnic group aged 30-79 years in Guizhou Province. In the total population, TC levels ≥5.20 mmol/L were found to be positively associated with MetS compared to participants with TC levels <5.20 mmol/L (OR=2.19, 95%CI: 1.93-2.49). In addition, snoring was positively associated with the MetS prevalence (OR:2.17, 95% CI:1.19-2.47). There was no multiplicative but additive interaction between TC level and snoring condition on MetS in the total population (the relative excess risk due to interaction=1.10, 95% CI: 0.41-1.79; the attributable proportion due to interaction=0.25, 95% CI: 0.12-0.39; the synergy index=1.49, 95% CI: 1.15-1.92).
In the prevention and control of MetS, attention should be paid not only to biochemical indicators such as TC levels, but also to the effect of snoring on the disease. By cultivating a healthy lifestyle, TC levels can be reduced and snoring can be improved with a view to playing a positive role in the management and control of MetS.
