Abstract: Objective To investigate the epidemic characteristics of gallstone in community elderly of Yangzhou, and to explore the risk factors of gallstone. Methods A total of 5377 elderly people who underwent physical examination in Community Health Service Centre of West New Town in Yangzhou from June to September 2020 were enrolled. The subjects were divided into the gallstone group and the control group according to the results of abdominal ultrasound examination. Basic information and blood biochemical parameters were collected and compared in the two groups. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of gallstone. Results A total of 1167 cases presented with gallstone, with an incidence rate of 21.7%. There were significant differences in gender, living in urban areas, abdominal obesity, diabetes, fatty liver, body mass index (BMI), fasting plasma glucose (FPG),total cholesterol (TC),triglycerides (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),alanine aminotransferase (ALT) between the two groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that female, living in urban areas, abdominal obesity, fatty liver, BMI, FPG were the independent risk factors for gallstone (P<0.05). Conclusions The potential risk factors of gallstone in the community elderly people are female, living in urban areas, abdominal obesity,fatty liver, FPG and BMI. Focusing on the risk factors is important to prevent gallstone in the elderly.
