Objective To survey the metabolism status and incidence of fatty liver disease（FLD）in young staff of an university with primary hypertension for early prevention of cardiovascular disease.Method 100 young university staffs with primary hypertension were selected as a study group and another 100 young staffs without hypertension were selected as the control group by means of the stratified random sampling method.The levels of fasting blood glucose（FBG）

total cholesterol（TC）

triglyceride（TG）

uric acid（UA） and the prevalence of FLD of the subjects from both groups were compared.Results Compared with the control group

both the levels of increased FBG

TC

TG and the incidence of FLD in study group were significantcy higher（P<0.05）

but there was no statistical significanle in the difference for both the level of UA and the prevalence of hyperuricemia between the two groups observed（P>0.05）.The deteltable rates of increased TC and TG were considerably high（70.0% and 55.0%） and there was no statistical significance in the difference for the deteltable rates of increased FBG

TC

TG and UA between male and female in study group（P>0.05）.Conclusion Metabolism disorders and FLD are widespread among the young university staff with hypertension

and the deteltable rates of increased FBG

TC

TG and UA are similar for both male and female.Hence

much attention and early prevention are needed.
