Abstract
We aimed to study time trends and levels of mean total cholesterol and lipid fractions, and dyslipidaemias prevalence in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC).Systematic-review and meta-analysis of population-based studies in which lipid (total cholesterol [TC; 86 studies;168,553
people], HDL-Cholesterol [HDL-C; 84 studies;121,282 people], LDL-Cholesterol [LDL-C; 61 studies;86,854 people], and triglycerides [TG;84 studies;121,009 people]) levels and prevalences were laboratory-based. We used Scopus, LILACS, Embase, Medline and Global Health; studies were from 1964-2016. Pooled means and prevalences were estimated for lipid biomarkers from ≥2005.The pooled means(mg/dl) were 193for TC, 120 for LDL-C, 47 for HDL-C, and 139 for TG; no strong trends. The pooled prevalence estimates were 21% for high TC, 20% for high LDL-C, 48% for low HDL-C, and 21% for
high TG; no strong trends. These results may help strengthen programs fordyslipidaemias prevention/management in LAC.
