Objective. To describe in a national sample 1) the mean total cholesterol (TC), HDL-cholesterol (HDLc) and triglyceride (TG) concentrations, 2) the prevalence of the most common lipid abnormalities and 3) the association between obesity and these conditions. Material and Methods. We analyzed the nationally representative, cross-sectional Mexican Health Survey (2000). The final analytic sample used consisted of 2 351 individuals at fasting state. TC, HDLc and TG were determined. BMI was classified according to the WHO cutoff points. Sex-specific means and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) were calculated by age group for TC, HDLc and TG. The prevalence of: a) hypercholesterolemia (HC), b) hypoalphalipoproteinemia (HA), c) hypertriglyceridemia (HT), d) HT with HA and e) HC with HT was calculated adjusting for age. Multivariate logistic regression models were estimated to analyze the association of obesity to the prevalence of dyslipidemias. Results. The mean TC, HDLc, and TG concentrations were: 197.5 mg/dl (95% CI= 194.0, 201.1), 38.4 mg/dl (95% CI= 37.2, 39.5) and 181.7 mg/dl (95% CI= 172.7, 190.6), respectively. HC was present in 40.5% of the adult females (95% CI=35.5, 45.4) and 44.6 of the adult males (95% CI=37.7, 51.4); HA was the most prevalent form of dyslipidemia, present in 64.7% (95% CI=58.7, 70.8) and 61.4% (95% CI=54.4, 68.3) of females and males, respectively. Obesity increased ~1.4 times the probability ratio (PR) of having HC among women and 1.9 among men. Conclusion. TC concentrations from our study in Mexico were similar to those found for Mexican-Americans and the prevalence of HC was slightly lower than the one reported in the US; Barquera S, Flores M, Olaiz-Fernández G, Monterrubio E, Villalpando S, González C, Rivera J, Sepúlveda J.

Describir en una muestra nacional las concentraciones de 1) colesterol total (CT), colesterol-HDL (cHDL) y triglicéridos, 2) la prevalencia de las anomalías lipídicas más comunes y 3) identificar la asociación entre obesidad y estas condiciones. Material y métodos. Se analizó la Encuesta Nacional de Salud (2000), una encuesta representativa y transversal. La muestra analítica final consistió en 2 351 individuos en ayuno. Se determinaron las concentraciones de CT, cHDL y TG. El índice de masa corporal se clasificó de acuerdo con los puntos de corte de la OMS. Se calcularon las medias y el intervalo de confianza del 95% (IC95%) estratificado por sexo para CT, cHDL y TG. La prevalencia de a) hipercolesterolemia (HC), b) hipoalfalipoproteinemia (HA), c) hipertrigliceridemia (HT), d) HT con HA y e) HC con HT se calculó ajustando por edad. Se estimaron modelos de regresión logística multivariada para analizar la asociación de la obesidad a la prevalencia de dislipidemias. Resultados. Las medias de CT, cHDL y TG fueron: 197.5 mg/dl (IC95%= 194.0, 201.1), 38.4 mg/dl (IC95%= 37.2, 39.5) y 181.7 mg/dl (IC95%= 172.7, 190.6) respectivamente. La prevalencia de HC fue de 40.5% en mujeres (IC95%=35.5, 45.4) y 44.6 en hombres (IC95%=37.7, 51.4); HA fue la forma más prevalente de dislipidemia, presente en 64.7% (IC95%=58.7, 70.8) y 61.4% (IC95%=54.4, 68.3) de las mujeres y los hombres respectivamente. La obesidad aumentó ~1.4 veces la razón de probabilidad de tener HC en mujeres y 1.9 en hombres. Conclusión. Las concentraciones de CT de nuestro estudio fueron similares a las encontradas en mexicanos residentes en los EUA y la prevalencia de HC fue ligeramente menor que la reportada en dicho país; sin
