Sex-Specific Prevalence and Associated Factors of Dyslipidemia in Korean Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Health science reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and Aims: This study aimed to examine the sex-specific prevalence of dyslipidemia and its components among Korean adults and to identify associated sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical risk factors. Methods: Data were analyzed from 7803 adults aged ≥ 20 years who participated in the 2022-2023 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Dyslipidemia was defined based on lipid thresholds for total cholesterol, LDL-C, HDL-C, and triglycerides. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted separately by sex, accounting for the complex survey design. Results: The overall weighted prevalence of dyslipidemia was 29.9%, significantly higher in men (38.7%) than in women (22.2%). Men had markedly higher prevalence of low HDL-C and hypertriglyceridemia, while women showed a postmenopausal rise in dyslipidemia. In sex-stratified models, hypertension, diabetes, and abdominal obesity were consistently associated with higher odds of dyslipidemia in both sexes. Current smoking was associated with dyslipidemia for men (OR, 1.929) and women (OR, 1.471). Alcohol intake was inversely associated with dyslipidemia only in men. Aerobic physical activity was associated with slightly higher odds of dyslipidemia in men but not in women. Sociodemographic variables were not independently associated with dyslipidemia after adjustment. Conclusion: Sex-specific differences in dyslipidemia prevalence and associated factors may reflect distinct biological and behavioral mechanisms. This study's findings highlight the importance of targeted interventions tailored by sex. Current smoking, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and diabetes were positively associated with dyslipidemia in both sexes, whereas alcohol consumption was inversely associated only in men. In women, current smoking and metabolic factors, including hypertension, abdominal obesity, and diabetes were significant, underscoring the need for comprehensive metabolic risk management in middle-aged and older women. These results support a life-course, sex-responsive approach to dyslipidemia prevention in Korea.
