ABSTRACT
What is already known about this topic? Dyslipidemia is attributed to cardiovascular disease (CVD). A recent report suggests dyslipidemia prevalence has increased among children and adolescents. What is added by this report? Dyslipidemia prevalence was 19.43% among Chinese children and adolescents aged 6-17 years in 2016-2017. The abnormal blood lipid prevalence and the average blood lipid levels showed a diversified distribution across demographics. What are the implications for public health practice? Continued monitoring of abnormal blood lipids among Chinese children and adolescents, especially triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), may inform public health interventions to promote long-term cardiovascular health and prevent CVD in adulthood.
