Trends in Lipid Concentrations and Lipid Control Among US Adults, 2007-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

High lipid concentrations are a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Little is known about how population-level lipid concentrations, as well as trends in lipid control, have changed over the past decade among US adults.

Objective

To determine whether lipid concentrations and rates of lipid control changed among US adults and whether these trends differed by sex and race and ethnicity, from 2007 to 2018.

Design, setting, and participants

Serial cross-sectional analysis of 33 040 US adults aged 20 years or older, weighted to be nationally representative, from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2007-2008 to 2017-2018).

Main outcomes and measures

Lipid concentrations among US adults and rates of lipid control among adul
