Background An increasing trend of coronary artery disease deaths is seen in the Philippines with the main risk factors identified as hypertension and dyslipidemia. This study reviews the result of the 8th National Nutrition Survey (NNS) and determines factors associated with increasing odds of having lipid abnormalities in the Filipino population. Methods The 8th NNS employed a three-stage sampling design. The first stage was the selection of Primary Sampling Units (PSUs), consisting of one barangay or a combination of contiguous barangays with at least 500 households each. From these PSUs, enumeration areas (EAs) with 150-200 households were identified, from which housing units were randomly selected. The third and final stage was the random selection of the households, which was the ultimate sampling unit. Eligible members of the sampled households were included in the survey. Among the sampled households, 20,236 individuals consented to blood analysis for lipid profiling. Results Prevalence of lipid abnormalities was high (47%) in the sample population. Furthermore, very low HDL cholesterol (38%) and high triglycerides levels (47%) were also noted. It was found out that the odds of dyslipidemia is 1.5% higher in smokers than in non-smokers; and alcohol drinkers than non-alcohol drinkers (OR: 1.44, p &amp;lt; 0.0001). Also, the odds of dyslipidemia is 1.8% higher in patients with SBP&amp;gt;140mmHg and DBP&amp;gt;90mmHg (p &amp;gt; 0.0001). Furthermore, dyslipidemia is twice more common in Filipino women than men. It was found out that Filipinos with high physical activity is 1.2 times less likely to develop dyslipidemia Conclusions The increasing trend of lipid abnormalities among the Filipino population is associated with modifiable risk factors such as smoking, alcohol drinking, and sedentary lifestyle. Promoting health policies that would lead people to healthier lifestyle choices would be beneficial to the nation.
