Description:

Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

• During 2015–2018, 11.4% of adults had high total cholesterol, and prevalence was similar by race and Hispanic origin.

• The prevalence of high total cholesterol was highest among adults aged 40–59.

• Over one-quarter of men (26.6%) and 8.5% of women had low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C).

• In men, the prevalence of low HDL-C was lowest in non-Hispanic black adults. In women, prevalence was highest in Hispanic adults.

• High total cholesterol prevalence declined from 1999–2000 to 2017–2018. Low HDL-C prevalence declined from 2007–2008 to 2017–2018.

High total cholesterol (≥ 240 mg/dL) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, < 40 mg/dL) are independent and modifiable risk factors for coronary heart disease (1–3). Declining trends were seen in the prevalence of high total cholesterol from 1999–2000 to 2015–2016 and in low HDL-C from 2007–2008 to 2015–2016 (4). This report presents 2015–2018 estimates of the prevalence of high total cholesterol and low HDL-C among U.S. adults aged 20 and over and trends through 2017–2018.
