Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus in adults in Changshu City, so as to provide scientific basis for preventing and controlling the occurrence and development of diabetes mellitus and formulation of prevention strategies. Methods Multi-stratified clustering random sampling method was used to randomly sample residents aged ≥18 years from 6 townships/streets in Changshu City for one-to-one face-to-face questionnaire survey and physical examination, to analyze the relationship between dyslipidemia and diabetes mellitus. Results A total of 11 809 residents were surveyed, including 4 776 males and 7 033 females, with an average age of （59.46±11.93） years old. There were 6 366 people with dyslipidemia, and the rate of dyslipidemia was 53.91%, including 28.91% of total cholesterol （TC）, 37.14% of total triglyceride （TG）, and 7.53% of high density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）. There were 1 416 diabetic patients in adult residents, and the prevalence of diabetes mellitus was 11.99%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of diabetes mellitus in people with dyslipidemia, abnormal TG and abnormal HDL-C was 1.351, 1.320 and 1.629 times higher than the normal people, each 1 standard deviation increase in TG was associated with a 21.9% increase in diabetes mellitus risk, and each 1 standard deviation increase in HDL-C was associated with a 22.0% decrease in diabetes mellitus risk. Conclusion Dyslipidemia in adults in Changshu City is closely related to diabetes mellitus. Routine detection of blood lipids should be strengthened to prevent and control the occurrence and development of diabetes mellitus.
