We used the dataset from one medical center in Taiwan to explore the prevalence of dyslipidemia, which included 2695 subjects receiving private health checkups in 2003-2004. The overall prevalence of hypercholesterolemia was 53.3% in men and 48.2% in women ( P = 0.008). The overall prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia was 29.3% in men and 13.7% in women ( P < 0.001). The overall prevalence of elevated LDL level was 50.7% in men and 37.9% in women ( P < 0.001). The overall prevalence of low HDL level was 47.4% in men and 53% in women ( P = 0.004).
