Abstract | Background/Objectives: Dyslipidemia is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, among available drug treatments, only those targeted at lowering LDL-C and consequently TC have demonstrated efficacy in preventing CVD. This is to say that the benefit for those with isolated high TG or low HDL-C is limited. The objective of this study is to examine the overlapping pattern of the four dyslipidemia components in US adult populations, which is important for quantifying the proportion of those who are less likely to benefit from lipid-lowering drugs and for a more precise use of the drug. Methods: A total of 7822 participants aged over 20 with abnormalities in any of the four lipid parameters, excluding those on lipid-lowering medications, were included from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles spanning 1999–2000 through 2017–2018. The proportions of different combinations of them were calculated and presented using area-proportional Euler plots. Results: High TC, high LDL-C, high TG, and low HDL-C were seen in 32.8% (95% CI: 31.3%–34.2%), 28.1% (95% CI: 26.6%–29.6%), 26.7% (95% CI: 25.4%–28.0%), and 65.9% (95% CI: 64.0%–67.7%) of the people with dyslipidemia, respectively. The proportions of dyslipidemia cases attributable to “high LDL-C or high TC” (irrespective of HDL-C and TG levels), “normal LDL-C, normal TC, but high TG” (irrespective of HDL-C level), and “normal LDL-C, normal TC, normal TG, but low HDL-C” (i.e., isolated low HDL-C) accounted for 37.5% (95% CI: 35.9%–39.1%), 18.3% (95% CI: 17.2%–19.4%), and 44.2% (95% CI: 42.5%–46.0%), respectively. Conclusions: Some two-thirds of those with dyslipidemia had low HDL-C or high TG but normal LDL-C and normal TC. As these people are less likely to benefit from currently available drug treatments in terms of CVD prevention, it is important to identify other effective strategies or interventions targeted at them in order to achieve more precise and cost-effective management of dyslipidemia. |
