Correlation of dyslipidemias and gallbladder polyps-A large retrospective study among Chinese population.

OBJECTIVE: Aim to explore the association of dyslipidemias with GBP prevalence, number and size in a large Chinese population in Beijing. Dyslipidemias include hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, increased low density lipoprotein (LDL) and decreased high density lipoproteins (HDL).

METHODS: Prevalence of GBP and its association with dyslipidemias were retrospectively investigated among subjects who underwent check-up at Health Screening Center of Xuanwu Hospital between January 2014 and December 2017.

RESULTS: This study enrolled 97117 participants. Prevalence of GBP was 7.3%. There were significant differences in increased LDL (595/7107 vs 6004/90010, P = 0.000) and increased cholesterol (TC) (403/7107 vs 4846/90010,P = 0.000) between GBP group and control group, but not in decreased HDL and increased triglyceride (TG). Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, BMI, SBP, DBP and LDL were independently associated with GBP. People with increases LDL had 1.488 times higher risk for GBP formation. Trend of dyslipidemias prevalence change according to age was similar with that of GBP. Increased LDL group had higher GBP prevalence rate (9.0% vs 7.2%, p = 0.000), multiple GBP proportion (2.9% vs 2.2%, p = 0.000) and large polyps with diameter ≥ 5 mm proportion (3.7% vs 2.6%,p = 0.000). Comparing with control group, there was higher proportion of large polyps in Increased TC group (3.2% vs 2.7%, p = 0.019) and decreased HDL group (3.0% vs 2.6%,p = 0.028). Increased TG group had not difference with its control group in GBP prevalence, number or size.

CONCLUSION: Dyslipidemias is associated with GBP formation. Dyslipidemias change according to age is consistent with GBP prevalence. Increased LDL was a more related risk factor rather than decreased HDL, increased TC or TG.
