In recent years, the prevalence of dyslipidemia and hyperlipidemia maintains at a high level globally. For instance, the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia, high LDL cholesterol, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HD
20 A meta-analysis with a total of 387,825 persons showed that the prevalence of dyslipidemia (the definition was identical to that of Beijing survey) in China adults aged ≥30 years was higher in east region than that in other regions. The risk factors of dyslipidemia were male, old age...
Normal values for children and definition of dyslipidemia:Lipid values in children vary by age and gender. As per the Expert panel on integrated guidelines for cardiovascular health and risk reduction in children and adolescents, here is a table listing normal, acceptable, and borderline values for ...
which impair the hydrolysis of triglycerides in chylomicrons and very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), leading to high triglyceride levels and pancreatitis. Familial combined hyperlipidemia is caused by the overproduction of apo B-containing lipoproteins, such as VLDL and LDL, by the liver, leading...
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a process that begins in children and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in adults. The pathologic findings include lipid deposits and inflammation in the arterial wall. Strong correlations between CVD risk factors, including dyslipidemias in childhood, have...
51,77 Given the data constraints, we included only income and education in this study’s definition of SES, thereby limiting our ability to explore the implications of other aspects of SES. In addition, much of the literature that provided the input for the simulations placed SES into 2 ...
The lipid profiles and their relation to disease risk could be influenced by age and the chosen definition for dyslipidemia. Our study indicated that high FPG level was significantly associated with an increased odds ratio of obesity and high body fat for both men and women. Similar results were...

Associations Between Each Additional 300 mg of Dietary Cholesterol Consumed per Day and Incident CVDand All-Cause Mortality View LargeDownload See the Figure 1 footnote for conditions included in the incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) definition. There were 5400 incident CVD events and ...
Hypertriglyceridemia TypeDefinition Persistent hypertriglyceridemia Fasting TG level ≥150 mg/dL following:• A minimum of 4 to 12 weeks of lifestyle intervention; or• A stable dose of maximally tolerated statin (when indicated); or• Evaluation and management of secondary causes of hypertriglyceri...
The estimated prevalence of high LDL-C in US adults aged 20 years or over, according to the definition in the Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (ATP III) [5], is 33.5 ...
