Prevalence of dyslipidemias in the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2006
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: To describe the prevalence of lipid abnormalities found in the Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey 2006 (ENSANut 2006). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Information was obtained from 4 040 subjects aged 20 to 69 years, studied after a 9- to 12-hour fast. RESULTS: Median lipid concentrations were: cholesterol 198.5 mg/dl, triglycerides 139.6 mg/dl, HDL-cholesterol 39.0 mg/dl, non-HDL-cholesterol 159.5 mg/dl and LDL-cholesterol 131.5 mg/dl. The most frequent abnormality was HDL-cholesterol below 40 mg/dl with a prevalence of 60.5% (95%CI 58.2-62.8%). Hypercholesterolemia (> 200 mg/dl) had a frequency of abnormality of 43.6% (95%CI 41.4-46.0%). Only 8.6% of the hypercholesterolemic subjects knew their diagnosis. Hypertriglyceridemia (>or= 150 mg/dl) was observed in 31.5% (IC 95% 29.3-33.9%) of the population. CONCLUSIONS: The ENSANUT 2006 data confirm that the prevalence of hypoalphalipoproteinemia and other forms of dyslipidemia in Mexican adults is very high.

Combined hyperlipidemia, the simultaneous elevation of both TC and TG levels, is highly common among Mexican individuals (18% incidence).
“Combined hyperlipidemia, the simultaneous elevation of both TC and TG levels, is highly common among Mexican individuals (18% incidence; ref. 13).”
From The N342S MYLIP polymorphism is associated with high total cholesterol and increased LDL receptor degradation in humans (2011) · cites this paper as [13]
The ‘Prevalence of lipid phenotypes’ section (Table IV) reports simultaneous elevation of cholesterol and triglycerides in 18.2% of the surveyed population, supporting the definition and approximate figure. It reports prevalence, not incidence; the latter would require measuring new cases over time. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
