Prevalence and Associated Factors of Hypertension-Diabetes-Dyslipidemia Clustering Among Adults - Hainan Province, China, 2023.

WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC?: Hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia are metabolically interconnected. Although each may arise independently, shared pathophysiology commonly drives synergistic co-occurrence.

WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: In Hainan, China's tropical island province, the weighted prevalence of hypertension-dyslipidemia comorbidity exceeded that of diabetes-dyslipidemia and hypertension-diabetes, as well as their triple comorbidity. Hypertensive-dyslipidemic clustering represented the predominant comorbidity phenotype, with implications for targeted screening and integrated prevention.

WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: This study provides a descriptive baseline assessment highlighting high-risk subpopulations, establishing a critical evidence base for planning/design of intervention strategies.
