Research on the Relationship between Dietary Fructose and Dyslipidemia in Chinese Residents Aged 45 and Above

Abstract

Using the data of China National Nutrition and Health Survey, we explored the relationship between dietary fructose intake and lipid indexes and dyslipidemia of 27 265 Chinese residents aged 45 and above. The level of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein Cholesterol(HDL-C) were significantly lower in male while dietary fructose intake was lower in female (P 0.001). There were gender differences for the effect of dietary fructose intake on lipid indexes and dyslipidemia.
