Abstract:
High blood cholesterol is typically considered a feature of wealthy
western countries1,2. However, dietary and behavioural determinants of blood cholesterol are
changing rapidly throughout the world3 and countries are using lipid-lowering medications at varying rates. These
changes can have distinct effects on the levels of high-density lipoprotein
(HDL) cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol, which have different effects on
human health
